Remarks. This species was described from the holotype (male) from NWAFU (Northwest A&F University, Yangling, Shaanxi, China). It is similar to T. philagroides (Jacobi, 1914) in external morphology, but can be separated by the long, glabrous ventral processes of segment X ( Fig. 54 View FIGURES 50 – 59 ) and by the slender style with two processes apically ( Fig. 57 View FIGURES 50 – 59 ). In T. philagroides the ventral processes of segment X each have a small spine apically ( Fig. 207 View FIGURES 202 – 213 ) and the style has three or four processes ( Figs. 209, 211–213 View FIGURES 202 – 213 ; Nielson 1977: 36, Fig. 79 View FIGURES 70 – 84 ).
