Distribution. This species is recorded from the Seychelles, Mauritius, throughout most of the Oriental Region, the northern part of Australia and few south west Pacific islands ( Tsuda 2000). In New Caledonia, it has been recorded as vagrant ( Davies 2002) at two locations in the south of Grande Terre, which are however not precisely known. Therefore, we did not map its distribution.

Habitat. We expect that this species in the same habitats as T. tillarga , but as it is also semi-crepuscular, fast- flying and less conspicuous it may be a more easily overlooked.

Biology and behaviour. The larva was illustrated by Lieftinck (1962). This is a migratory species most active towards dusk.

Status. We considered this species as DD, because little information is available for New Caledonia.
