Par la forme du 1 er segment du pedicule fortement eleve, cette espece se rapproche de T. Bessoni Forel, de Madagascar. Elle en est, toutefois, bien differente par son thorax borde, la sculpture de la tete et du corselet et le pedicule beaucoup plus large, a n oe uds fortement transverses. La tete a une ponctuation fondamentale superficielle qui la rend presque mate et sur laquelle se detachent des rides elevees; les rides du front sont assez egales entre elles, celles des cotes de la tete forment reseau.
