wasdescribed from specimens of both sexes from Xishuangbanna,
Yunnan
,
People’s Republic of China
, and according to the detailed figures and photos provided by
Zhao & Li (2014)
it is conspecific with
T. elegans
Tanasevitch, 2014
, known from a male from Doi Tung,
Chiang Rai Province
, situated in the extreme north of
Thailand
(
Tanasevitch, 2014
). As in the case of
N. circinata
(see above), the description of
T. elegans
was published two days earlier than that of
T. bidentata
. Therefore
T. elegans
has priority over
