Allied to T. superb us Brunner from Upper Amazonia, but 

 differing in the slenderer body, the very much longer and 

 slenderer pronotum, the absence of distinct denticles on the 

 mesopleura, which are somewhat constricted cephalad, and in 

 the more subequal rostrum. From T. scptcntrionalis Bruner,* 

 from Costa Rica, it differs in the slightly smaller general size 

 and the much shorter limbs of the female, while the male has 

 the pronotum longer than in the Costa Rican species, and the 

 number of spines on the external margins of the caudal tibue 

 is at least four less than in septentrionalis.
