 one female. 



After comparison with Walker's description, I have concluded that 

 these specimens represent his species. They are closely related 

 to T. centurio (Drury), but can be separated by the larger size, shorter 

 wings, which also have the apical third narrowed, the more produced 

 posterior margin of the pronotum, the greater space between the eyes, 

 and the slenderer posterior limbs.

Included C. speciosa and colorata, of which the former ( = miles) was 

 represented by specimens and can be considered the type.
