MATERIAL EXAMINED. TYPE MATERIAL. (examined from photographs on PSF – BROCK et al., 2021) VIETNAM: HT ♀: Tonkin, Than-Moi, Juni-Juli, H. Frühstorfer ( NHMW) .

COMMENTS. Currently still only known from a single female from Than-Moi (or Thanh Moi), in North Vietnam (21°38'N, 106°32'E) ( SCHILEYKO, 2011). The type-locality is close to Ba Be N.P. The species is morphologically close to T. chinensis Redtenbacher, 1908 and T. longialatus Cai, 1989 ; more material is necessary to correctly differentiate this species from congenerics. It can be differentiated from T. albomaculatus sp. nov and T. auranticollis by the pink membrane between the pronotum and the head and by the distinct dark spots on the pronotum.
