Diagnosis. Adult
(

. We identified two examined specimens from Sulawesi (
Figs. 19, 20
) as
T. sericea hawkeri
by comparison with photograph of the
paratype
(
Fig. 17
). The subspecies
hawkeri
differs from the nominate by the brown-reddish color of body and forewing and by the more uniformly yellow color of hindwing, without blackish basal area and with reduced terminal band. The male genitalia of the specimen from Sulawesi (
Fig. 49
) does not differ from Indian specimen (
Fig. 46
).
