(Figs 335–340)
Diagnosis. Wings hyaline; hypandrium (Fig. 338) of four sclerites; central sclerite convex anteriorly, with two long, proximally wide posterior lateral processes, stout, acuminate, each bearing a pointed, short process proximally on outer border. Posterior sclerite anteriorly concave, long, widening distally, with posterior border biconcave; side sclerites small. Phallosome with side struts falcate, independent, fused posteriorly to distally dilated external parameres; anterior endophallic sclerites V-shaped, straight, each arm wider anteriorly, distally bent posteriorly; mesal sclerites proximally narrow, widening distally, divided in two arms; posterior sclerites long, straight, terminally wide, with four acuminate processes. Related to T. lamasi Silva-Neto et al., and T. lamasoides Silva-Neto et al., from which it differs in the lateral processes of the anterior sclerite of the hypandrium, and in the posterior sclerite of the hypandrium; it also differs from them in the structure of the phallosome (Fig. 340).
Male. Color (in 80% ethanol). Body yellowish brown. Head dark brown, pattern (Fig. 337); compound eyes dark brown; ocelli hyaline, with ochre centripetal crescents. Antennae pale brown, scape and pedicel brown. Maxillary palps pale brown. Tergal lobes of meso- and metathorax brown. Thoracic pleura cream, with reddish brown spots. Coxae, trochanters and femora creamy white; tibiae and tarsi pale brown. Wings hyaline, veins brown. Abdomen cream, with irregular, subcuticular pale brown spots; clunium brown. Phallosome dark brown; posterior sclerites dark brown. Epiproct and paraprocts cream, with subcuticular brown spots.

Vertex slightly emarginate, almost in line with the upper border of the compound eyes. Outer cusp of lacinial tip broad, with five denticles. Mx4/Mx2: 1.41. Forewings (Fig. 335): L/W: 2.64. Pterostigma: lp/wp: 4.0, with setae in the membrane; areola postica: la/ha: 2.44, slanted posteriorly. Hindwings (Fig. 336): l/w: 2.98. Hypandrium (Fig. 338). Phallosome (Fig. 340). Paraprocts (Fig.339) oval, almost straight posteriorly, setae as illustrated; sensory fields with 30 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Epiproct (Fig. 339) wide, slightly concave anteriorly in the middle; mesally with an almost elliptic protuberance; setae as illustrated.
