Diagnosis.

The species shows some intraspecific variability (Figs 55 View Figures 53–58 - 70 View Figures 67–73 ) in the shape of the paramere and median lobe of the aedeagus. In general appearance, the species is similar to T. acerosus , T. aduncatus , and T. diaoluoensis , but can be keyed out by the aedeagal characters.

Distribution.

China (Fujian).
