Remarks
. By having well-developed lateral lobes, low mesepisternal tubercles, and paraprocts about as long as cerci,
T. yanomami
belongs in the
mammilaris
species group, together with
T. geijskesi
,
T. karitiana
,
T. mammilaris
, and
T. tirio
.
It can be separated from these species by characters given in the keys. Male of
T. yanomami
is close to
T. mammilaris
,
but female is closer to
T. tirio
. The three
type
specimens described by
De Marmels (1992)
were collected in the forest on sun-hit bushes, away from water. This is the first record of this species from
Brazil
.
