Reamarks. This species was described from the holotype (male) and one male, three female paratypes from NCSR and three female paratypes from BISHOP. It is similar to T. tridactyla Zhang, 1994 in certain male genitalia, but differs in having the pygofer lobe ( Fig. 134 ) broader than in T. tridactyla ( Zhang 1994: 41, Fig. 35 F), the paraphysis with two processes distally ( Fig. 137 ) versus three in T. tridactyla ( Zhang 1994: 41, Fig. 35 N).
