 shorter, the white spots on the abdomen are hardly visible, the head 

 between the eyes is red, not tawny as in T. abdominalis, the legs are 

 somewhat paler, the cross-veins of the wings are clouded with paler 

 brown colour, and are ferruginous in some parts when those of the 

 other species are brown. Body red, covered with a slight white 

 bloom : head clothed beneath with yellow hairs : feelers and palpi 

 ferruginous: mouth black , sides of the chest clothed in front with 

 black hairs, behind with whitish hairs: abdomen darker than the

 on the back : legs ferruginous, clothed with white down and black 

 hairs : wings slightly tawny, darker at the base and along the fore 

 borders ; cross- veins clouded with pale brown ; veins ferruginous at 

 the base, black towards the tips ; poisers tawny, with bright yellow
