Etymology.

Remarks.
Trinorida timlivana
sp. nov.
resembles
T. ochrocephala
sp. nov.
in male genitalia features but differs in the bifid proximal process compared to trifid proximal process in
T. ochrocephala
. The pygofer in
T. timlivana
is much narrower in the distal half compared to
T. ochraocephala
.
