F67AD920FFDF9536FF604A4FFC0AFDC8.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The new species is somewhat similar to T. vana Alexander 1934 from Russia in the following characters: tergite 9 with median lobe weakly notched at apex; clasper of gonostylus with outer beak extended into an acute spine at tip, dense long erect setae at apex of clasper of gonostylus. But it can be separated from T. vana by the shape of sternite 8 and lobe of gonostylus, including positions of setae on them, as well as by some details of clasper of gonostylus. In vana, the sternite 8 produces into a small erect to slightly retrorse naked tubercle near apex, before which there is a fringe of long erect pale setae on the median region of the sternite; the anterior edge of the lobe of gonostylus is curved backward, and there is not any long seta near base; in addition, the outer beak of the clasper of gonostylus is more slender, while the apex of the clasper of gonostylus is relatively broader (Alexander 1934; Savchenko 1961).	en	Li, Yan, Yang, Ding (2010): Species of the subgenus Acutipula Alexander from Henan, east-central China (Diptera, Tipulidae).

F67AD920FFDD9537FF604A4FFDE9FE16.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species is very similar to T. bubo Alexander, 1918 from Russia and Japan. But it differs from bubo in the shapes of the median lobe of tergite 9, the lobe of gonostylus and the posterior margin of the clasper of gonostylus. In bubo, the median lobe of tergite 9 is round at tip while not constricted near tip; the apex of the lobe of gonostylus is round; the posterior margin of the clasper of gonostylus is smooth without any sharp process (Savchenko 1961).	en	Li, Yan, Yang, Ding (2010): Species of the subgenus Acutipula Alexander from Henan, east-central China (Diptera, Tipulidae).
