Diagnosis.
T. marginellus
can be distinguished from other
Tenucephalus
species by a combination of the typical col- or pattern, male pygofer processes with distinct medial tooth near midlength and with minute marginal teeth at apex, subgenital plates short, broadly rounded at apex, style apophysis apex widened apically, not foot-like, and aedeagus in lateral view very narrow, long, and evenly curved throughout length. Male,
4.2 mm
; female, 4.25–5.0 mm.
