Etymology.
The name of the species is descriptive for the 3 short, glabrous processes on the aedeagus.
Remarks.
From
T. calcaris
to which it is similar in male genitalia,
T. trifida
can be distinguished by the narrow triangulate pygofer, the larger connective with short ligulate stem and narrower apophysis of the style.
