Legs elongate and slender; fore femora about 2.0 times as long as the pronotum, ventrally unarmed, internal genicular lobe with a small spine, external genicular lobe with 1 elongate movable spur; fore tibiae ventrally with 2 external and 1 internal spur(s). Mid femora with an elongate movable spur on the internal and genicular lobe, ventrally unarmed; mid tibiae ventrally with 1 external and 1 internal spur. Hind femora beneath with 2–3 inter spines and without outer spines; hind tibiae above with 89–95 outer and inner spines respectively, arrange in groups. Super internal spur of hind tibiae almost at the position of the dorso-apical spine of hind metatarsus ( Fig. 7 View FIGURES 7–8 ). Hind metatarsus keeled beneath. Epiphallus of male genitalia like the shape of “A”, lateral side of base inflated, median lobe with a rather large sclerite ( Fig. 8 View FIGURES 7–8 ).

Diagnosis. This species is rather similar to T. (T.) trilobatus sp. nov. but differs from the latter in that: hind tibiae dorsally with 85–95 spines on each side and median lateral lobe of male genitalia sclerotized. Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the multiple spines on hind tibia.
