. We follow
A. E. Prout (1924)
in the treatment of this taxon as a subspecies of
T. sericea
. Judging from the photograph of the
syntype
, the subspecies
T. sericea trigonoleuca
differs from the nominate one and
T. sericea hawkeri
by a paler greyish brown forewing, and distinct black with diffused whitish bordering ante- and postmedial lines; the hindwing differs by uniform yellowish-orange color, without dark basal part and terminal band, the only blackish terminal line, cilia and tornal mark are traceable. Details of male genitalia are illustrated by
A. E. Prout (1924)
.
