Only two species are recognised in this genus, T. akritus Palmer & Mound from Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and T. grandis Okajima from Philippines. These have the maxillary stylets elongate, retracted to the level of the compound eyes and close together medially, and there is a pair of ommatidium-like structures ventro-laterally on the anterior third of the cheeks.
