Female. Unknown.

Habitat. Streamlet, about 4 m wide, 0.3–0.5 m depth, with many small stones at the bottom and opulent sunlight; water is cold.

Remarks. The present species is similar to T. semicolor K.O. Viets, 1977, in having elongated-oval dorsal shield, a short and compact P-3; elongated Cx-I, rounded tips; and a slender rostrum (K.O. Viets, 1977; Goldschmidt 2007). The new species differs from T. semicolor in several characters: (1) Ap away from the line of primary sclero- tization in this new species, but fused together in T. semicolor; (2) E 4 on the same line with the 2 nd pair of acetabula in this new species, but with the 4 th one in T. semicolor; (3) dorsal plate arrangement 2+2p+ 1 in this new species, but 4+ 1 in T. semicolor .

Etymology. The specific name is from Latin words: “ acris ” which means sharp and “ rostrum ”, referring to the rostrum tapering and sharp; used as a noun in apposition.

Distribution. China (Jilin).
