Females (unknown for T. andrikos sp. nov., T. drosos sp. nov., T. ephemeros sp. nov., T. xouthos sp. nov.)
1. Head and mesosoma dark red to black ( Figs 3 View FIGURES 1 – 6 , 9 View FIGURES 7 – 14 ); pygidium having single longitudinal medial carina apical to small pygidial plate ( Figs 13 View FIGURES 7 – 14 , 37 View FIGURES 19 – 38 )..................................................................... T. frigidula (Cresson)
- Head and mesosoma pale brown to orange (e.g. Figs 1, 2 View FIGURES 1 – 6 ); large pygidial plate well defined by lateral carinae, reaching apex of pygidium (e.g. Figs 14 View FIGURES 7 – 14 , 38 View FIGURES 19 – 38 )............................................................................. 2

- Mesosomal length slightly greater than width, mesothorax narrower than pronotum, propodeum narrowing posterad and weakly convex posteriorly with posterolateral angle rounded ( Fig. 1 View FIGURES 1 – 6 ); femora entirely light orange brown; flagellomere two about one-third longer than pedicel......................................................... T. aleatrix sp. nov.
