Notes.
Buchar (1997)
described this species from
Bhutan
.
Marusik
et al.
(2020) recorded this species from
India
based on specimens collected from
Himachal Pradesh
,
Punjab
and
Uttarakhand
.
However
, they were not sure about the conspecificity of their specimens with the
types
of
T
.
dentichelis
, even though they compared the specimens from
India
with the
types
. We could not find any significant differences between the material from
Bhutan
and those from
India
, thus confirming the occurrence of this species in
India
(compare
Fig. 11A, C
with Marusik
et al.
2020: figs
2g
–h, 4e)
