The female is also similar to T. banmenensis sp. n. but can be distinguished from it by length of epigynal teeth longer than width and the posterior margin of epigynal atrium triangular ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 A–B).

Epigyne: atrium occupying less than 1/4 of the epigynal plate, situated at the central part of epigyne; the posterior margin of epigynal atrium triangular; teeth 1/3 the atrial width, 3 times longer than width, located medio-laterally, next to atrial lateral margins, spaced of each other by 3 lengths; copulatory ducts coiled one coil around spermathecal anterior parts ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 A–B).
