Diagnosis. Color: hind femur with distinct shiny black longitudinal pattern on external (outer) field ( Fig. 23 View FIGURES 10–24 , similar pattern in T. meridionalis n. gen. n. sp., pattern weaker in T. antsycurvis n. gen. n. sp.). Male. Xth abdominal tergite emargination as deep as wide ( Fig. 43 View FIGURES 34–54 ; similar in T. meridionalis n. gen. n. sp., wider in T. antsycurvis n. gen. n. sp.); paraprocts with a short wide projection ( Fig. 42 View FIGURES 34–54 ; long digitiform projection in T. meridionalis n. gen. n. sp., shorter digitiform projection in T. antsycurvis n. gen. n. sp.). Cercus median projection relatively short ( Fig. 44 View FIGURES 34–54 ; longer in T. antsycurvis n. gen. n. sp. and T. meridionalis n. gen. n. sp.). Subgenital plate longer than wide ( Fig. 41 View FIGURES 34–54 ; wider than long in T. meridionalis n. gen. n. sp. and T. antsycurvis n. gen. n. sp.). Titillators distal end pointing ( Fig. 56 View FIGURES 55–57 ; similar in T. meridionalis n. gen. n. sp., enlarged distally in T. antsycurvis n. gen. n. sp.). Female. Subgenital plate about as wide as long, with V-shaped emargination ( Fig. 60 View FIGURES 58–63 ; wider than long in T. meridionalis n. gen. n. sp. and T. antsycurvis n. gen. n. sp.). Ovipositor average for the genus ( Fig. 61 View FIGURES 58–63 , Table 2).

Description. Size average for the genus ( Table 2). Color: head with genae without distinct black pattern; pronotum folds with usually a light band edging the black band; hind femur with distinct shiny black longitudinal pattern on external (outer) field ( Fig. 23 View FIGURES 10–24 ). Male. Xth abdominal tergite emargination as deep as wide ( Fig. 43 View FIGURES 34–54 ); paraprocts with a shirt wide projection ( Fig. 42 View FIGURES 34–54 ). Cercus dorsal lobe broadly rounded; median projection relatively short, bilobate ( Fig. 44–47 View FIGURES 34–54 ). Subgenital plate longer than wide; with indistinct emargination; styli separated by about styli length ( Fig. 41 View FIGURES 34–54 ). Titillators distal end pointing; internal part shaped as inverted wide Y ( Fig. 56 View FIGURES 55–57 ). File with ca. 42 teeth ( Fig. 30 View FIGURES 25–33 ). Female. Subgenital plate longer than wide, with V shaped emargination ( Fig. 60 View FIGURES 58–63 ). Ovipositor average for the genus, ventral margin with a relatively long strait area ( Fig. 61 View FIGURES 58–63 , Table 2).
