Specimens studied. Holotype, 1♂, Qiqi, Gongshanxian , Yunnan, alt. 2300m, 2010-VI-28 ~ VII-3, collected by Bi Wen-Xuan; paratypes, 2♂♂, same data as holotype.
Distribution. China (Yunnan).
Diagnosis. This species is rather similar to T. (G.) pallidus sp. nov., but differs from the latter by both lateral margins of the male epiphallus running not parallel; corresponding status of T. (G.) pallidus sp. nov.: both lateral margins of the male epiphallus running almost parallel.
Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the locality where specimens were collected, dianxi means western region of Yunnan province of China.
