Note. This species has short ocellar setae, 3 slightly proclinate frontal setae, and a wide apical crossband, characters shared with other species related to
T. zoe
Meigen, 1826
. In the latter species, the wing pattern is sexually dimorphic, with the preapical crossband better developed in females and usually reduced in males; on the contrary, males usually have an extensive irregular dark area on and posterbasal to the pterostigma also covering the radial fork. The specimens on hand are males, which have an entirely brownish- or reddish-yellow mesonotum without black spots on the mediotergite as in the
holotype
female of
T. indica
, but the female wing pattern (
fig. 21
,
d
) is conspicuously different from the male wing pattern (
fig. 21
,
a
) in having complete discal crossband; however, similar dimorphism occurs in other species of the
zoe
group. We consider these males to belong to
T. indica
. The locality in
Bhutan
is only
ca.
150 km
from Dargeeling, its type locality.
