■ This species is distinguished from T. currax by the lemon- 

 yellow colour of the \\'liole body (in currax it is more greyish- 

 yellow), the absence of basal black triangles to scutellum and the 

 absence of the spot on the outer apical cell of tegmina, as well as 

 by the abdomen being pale yellow both above and beneath."

Melicbar appears from the descriptions to have figured his 

 T. currax as T. bijpunctula.
