The prcaenl species is closely related to T. maritima and T. citrina. 

 Whca coovarcd with the former it is found to average smaller. The 

 lateral carinae of the frontal costa are normally not as distinct below 

 the roedian oedhit. The lateral lobes of the prnnotum are more com- 

 pfCMfd eephalad of the principal salens, with the disk at this point 

 more distinctly narrowed as a resah. and with caudal margin of disk 

 less produced, the an?!e beinij normally rectanifulate. The tegmina 

 are proportionately similar but not as kmg relatively when compared
