Specimens examined. [ Malaysia] 1 male 1 female, Gunung Mentigi, Cameron Highlands, Pahang, 13.iii.3003, NT

(UKM); 1 male, Gunung Jasar, Cameron Highlands , Pahang, 14.iii.2003, KY ( UKM) ; 1 male, Gunung Berembun, Cameron Highlands , Pahang, 13.vii.2003, NT ; 1 female, same locality, 15.vii.2003, KY ( SEHU) ; 2 male, Gunung Jasar, Path 12, Cameron Highlands , 14.vii.2003, KY ( SEHU) ; 1 male, Fraser's Hill , Pahang, 5.iii.2003, KY ( UKM) .

Remarks. This species was originally described from Java, Indonesia and is here recorded from Peninsula Malaysia for the first time. Morphological characters of the specimens identified here as T. soenarti agreed with that described in the original description except for one point: the hypandrial structures are in mirror image ( Fig. 22C ). Therefore, we concluded that the illustration of the hypandrium presented in the original description is drawn in dorsal (internal) view or reproduced in reversed position.

The female of this species resembles T. medium and its relatives in having a short anteromedian sclerotized band on the subgenital plate ( Fig. 23A ). However, the hypandrial structure ( Fig. 22C ) and the short ventral valve of the gonapophyses ( Fig. 23B ) strongly suggest that this species is closely related to T. apertum and its relatives. The hypandrial median tongue is relatively well developed ( Fig. 22C ), as observed in T. majus and its relatives, representing a plesiomorphic condition within the majus group. As mentioned by Endang et al. (2002), T. quadrispinosum is very closely related to T. soenarti .
