For same reasons than the previous species, this species belongs to the rhenanus species group. The biology of this type III species ( McMurtry et al. 2013 ) is almost totally unknown. This is the first mention of that species for the Slovenian fauna. World distribution : Belgium , Cyprus , England , Greece , Ireland , Morocco , Netherlands , Norway , Spain , Syria , Tunisia , Turkey . Specimens examined : A single ♀ during the two years-study. Ankaran (aasl 19 m , lat. 45°34’20”N , long. 13°45’29”E ), 1 ♀ on Quercus robur L. ( Fagaceae ), 19/VI/2019 ; Remarks : The description and measurements of the adult females collected agree with those provided by Faraji et al. (2007) and by Ferragut et al. (2010) for specimens from Spain . This species is very close to T. ( A. ) cryptus , considered to be a junior synonym by several authors.
