Description
: Head eyebridge of 3 facet rows; distance between eyes 5 facet diameters; one row of postocular bristles. Antenna with scape, pedicel and 14 flagellomeres: absolute length 0.044-0.054-0.036-0.036-0.036-0.036- 0.036-0.036-0.034-0.034-0.03-0.03

-10-15; terminal flagellomere with apiculus. Pairs of digitate ascoids on flagellomeres 5–11. Palpus segments absolute length: 0.068-0.068-0.084-

; relative length 34-34-42-67.
Wing 2.93 times longer than wide; length

, width

. Sc without crossveins, R

basally thin, only from the tip of Sc on of ‘normal’ width.
Male terminalia with hypandrium not definitely detected. Gonocoxites approximately 1.8x longer than wide, a long seta not detected. Gonostyli 1.3 times longer than gonocoxites, slightly sinuous (
Fig. 52
).
Parameres are not clearly discernable, middle extensions oval with converging tips; condyles large, oval. Aedeagus visible in cross ventral view, with two apical hook-shaped and bent distiphallus sclerites. The cross view shows the aedeagal sheath, probably open until near base and the tips of the distiphallus sclerite (
Fig. 53
). However, a proper comparison with other species is at the moment impossible.
General shape of epandrium not detectable; epandrial processes elongate, straight with 4 bases of tenacula, tenacula not found on slide.
Distribution
:
Turkey
.
Remarks
: certainly a good species, based on the two hook-shaped ends of the distiphallus, probably related to
T. syriensis
. However, for a proper comparison with other species additional material is necessary.
