Relationships: According to derived aedeagal internal sac features T. thorongiensis Schmidt, 1994 is doubtless the sister species of T. eutrechoides (see above).
Distribution: Fig. 98 View FIGURE 98 . Tibetan Himalaya of Manang Distr., Central Nepal. Hitherto only found on the eastern slope of the Thorung La pass, Muktinath Himal, north of Annapurna Massif.

The type locality is now completely built over by a complex of lodges for trekking tourists called ‘High Camp’ on the way to Thorung La pass.
