T. augias ;Uniform deep orange; Brand straight often occupying the full width of the black space.
UnH veins across band not dark-dusted; Face is orangey.
Overtime I have realise that the veins in T. augias should not be prominent.
Those deep orange images with the underside veins bulging & prominent are probably T. besta ,especially so if the face is whitish.
HOwever, I am still not absolutely certain.
