DIAGNOSIS: Males recognized among other species in this genus by the longer labial segment II relative to III and slightly incrassate forefemur. This species is similar to
T
.
bemaraha
, but the shorter labial segment III and lack of anterolateral protuberances on the anterior pronotal lobe distinguish
T
.
andohahela
from
T
.
bemaraha
. This species is also similar to
T
.
notatus
, but differs from it by the slightly incrassate forefemur and lack of black markings on the hind legs.
