No important differences could be found between these
two females
from
French Guiana
and those of
T. nigrifacies
. Without associated males it remains possible that they represent a different species, particularly since several very closely related species to each other have been found on the island of
Bonaire
.
French Guiana
, located further east, has a climate and suite of habitats quite different from
Bonaire
.
