Discussion
A prima giunta sembra un gigantesco T. caespitumHNS, alla quale specie rassomiglia pure per la scultura e per la forma del protorace: questo offre in avanti nn margine distinto, per cui il suo dorso e separato in avanti da una specie di collo, e guardato di sopra sembra avere in ciascun lato un angolo sporgente. L'assenza di qualsiasi traccia di suture sul torace, come pure le spine piu lunghe, la forma diversa del primo segmento del picciuolo che ha il nodo piu allungato d'avanti in dietro, rendono ben distinta la nuova specie.
