Biology.
In
Prozorov, 2011
flying period is a mosaic: January, February, April, May, July, October, and December. Here we add March, August, September and November. Thus, only specimens collected in June are not yet known but it is more likely that
T. longipennis
is polyvoltine and flies the whole year round. The species is collected in tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests (Guinean montane, western Guinean lowland, central Congolian lowland, northeast Congolian lowland, Albertine Rift montane and northern Swahili coastal forests ecoregions) and tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas and shrublands (central Zambezian wet miombo woodlands and dry miombo woodlands ecoregions) (
Dinerstein
et al.,
2017
).
