Diagnosis: Species well characterised by the following features: graceful and bright body, with very fine and hardly noticeable punctures ( Fig. 188 ). Head with large and convex eyes ( Fig. 3 ); gular groove consisting in a shallow central depression ( Fig. 38 ). Sides of pronotum more narrowed in the base than in the apex; margin of the base entire and thick, and the middle lobe barely indented, rather truncated or even rounded ( Fig. 72 ); prosternal apophysis with parallel sides and rounded end ( Fig. 108 ); elytra smooth or with vestigial stria, very oblong but sharpened towards the extreme, and barely narrowed towards the humeri which are angled and fallen, broad base, curved around the scutellum but straight to the humeri ( Fig. 143 ); anal sternite truncate at the apex ( Fig. 149 ); aedeagus fusiform, about 3.25 mm in length, with the parameres almost as long as the phallobase ( Fig. 156 ). Comments: T. ophiusae Codina was described as subspecies of T. mucronata Steven ; however, according with Español (1940 , 1951 ), it should be considered different species mainly by the configuration of the aedeagus. Geographical distribution: Endemism from the coastal sands of the Balearic Pitiusas (Ibiza and Formentera) ( Español 1960 ; Pons & Palmer 1996 ). Group of T. subcostata
