Diagnosis: This species can be recognized by the shape of surstyli in lateral view; both bean-shaped ( Fig. 33D–E View FIGURE 33 ); epandrium wider than long in dorsal view ( Fig. 33A View FIGURE 33 ); coiled ejaculatory ducts ( Fig. 33D–E View FIGURE 33 ); gonopods equal in height ( Fig. 33B View FIGURE 33 ); rounded hypandrium with distinct hypandrial apodeme in ventral view ( Fig. 33B View FIGURE 33 ). This species is closely related to T. nodosa and T. hamounensis sp. nov. See the diagnosis notes under T. nodosa and T. hamounensis sp. nov. for more details.
