T. nicobari N. Singh & Ahmad , sp. nov.

Type information. TL: 4 km South of Vijay nagar, Great Nicobar Island, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Holotype male, depository: NZCZSI.

Distribution: Great Nicobar island, India.

Remark: T. nicobari , sp. nov. is a closely similar species of T. varians , a widely distributed species in India, including Andaman Islands. However, all the records of Nicobar belong to the new species only. Therefore, T. nicobari and T. varians appears to be allopatric with the former as an endemic to Nicobar.
