This species is well characterized by the peculiar shape of the male cerci. The anal 

 segment is produced between the cerci almost in the form of a truncate triangle, 

 less widely truncate than in T. ocularis. In the tympanal field of the left elytron the 

 two postaxillary veins are angulated inwards, and do not converge posteriorly, forming 

 an open triangle.
