Front wing 7.7 to 12.5 mm. long; clypeus moderately wide (a little 

 narrower than in T. relativus), rather strongly convex, its apical half 

 flattened or weakly concave; frons with a pitlike depression dorso- 

 laterad of each antennal socket; temple short (about 0.65 as long as 

 eye in male, about 0.70 as long as eye in female), almost flat, strongly 

 sloping, and rather densely punctate; hairs on lower half of temple 

 about 0.5 as long as basal diameter of flagellum, rising at about 60°; 

 front tarsus of female very little expanded, as in figure 379; ridges on 

 lower valve of ovipositor weak, not extending basad of nodus, as in
