Tergite 1 densely gray pollinose, with 3–5 brown lateral setae (up to 0.08 mm). Tergite 2–5 gray pollinose, with scattered brown setae. Genitalia. Genital capsule in dorsal view: epandrium and surstyli light brown. Epandrium wider than long (MLE:MWE = 0.54). Surstyli rather small and symmetrical. Both surstyli broadened at the middle, with an inner small projection at apex (Fig. 17A). Genital capsule in ventral view: gonopods rather equal in height (Fig. 17B).

Pleura dark brown, silver-gray pollinose. Wing length: 1.9‒2.0 mm. LW:MWW = 2.1‒2.3. Fore femur bearing two smaller anteroventral spines in basal third, hind femur with 1–2 wrinkled indentations in basal. Pulvilli smaller than distitarsi. Tergites 1–6 with scattered gray pollinose.

In addition, there is a gap between the surstyli and cerci of T. nodosa in lateral view (Fig. 26C–D). Meanwhile, It is similar to T. hamounensis sp. nov.

Despite this, the genitalia of these species are rather different. This is thus likely a case of recently diverged species, as seen in many other taxa (e.g. Skevington et al. 2007, Young et al. 2016, Motamedinia et al. 2020). There is always a possibility that it is a single species with polymorphic genitalia, so future genetic work may shed light on this issue.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A887D05F7AFFB3FF3EEC4CFA2F4CF9	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The shape of the surstyli and small epandrium in dorsal view are similar to T. congoana Hardy, 1950 (for illustration see De Meyer, 1993: fig. 10), T. debruyni De Meyer, 1995 (for illustration see De Meyer, 1995: fig. 11) and T. mutata (for illustration see Földvári &amp; De Meyer, 1999: 15 A–D). It differs from T. congoana and T. debruyni by the shape of surstyli in lateral view, which is bent by 90˚ towards the abdominal sternites and differs from T. mutata by the shape of the right surstylus in dorsal view. It is also similar to T. angulata Majnon-Jahromi et al. 2017, as the surstyli of both species are bent by 90˚ towards the abdominal sternite in lateral view and both have a small epandrium in dorsal view. It differs from T. angulata by the lack of distinct and distally-knobbed surstyli in dorsal view (Fig. 32B). Moreover, this species is closely related to T. argyrata and T. argyratoides.

Head. Scape, pedicel and arista dark. Pedicel with three short upper setae and a single lower bristle; flagellum brown, gray pollinose and tapering (LF:WF = 2.4). Eyes meeting for a distance of 12–13 facets. Frons silver-gray pollinose, vertex dark and shine, lacking pollinosity, bearing an elevated ocellar triangle. Occiput dark, gray pollinose with scattered dark seate. Thorax. Postpronotal lobe light brown, with 2–3 short light brown setae along the upper margin (up to 0.01 mm). Prescutum and scutum black, silver-gray and brown pollinose, with scattered setae at anterior supra-alar area and uniseriate rows of intra-alar setae. Scutellum black, silver-gray pollinose, with about 10 short dark setae along posterior margin (up to 0.04 mm). Subscutellum black and pleura brown. Wing. Wing length: 3.1 mm., LW:MWW = 3.4. Wing almost entirely covered with microtrichia. Halter length: 0.3 mm., light brown, narrowly black at base. Legs. Dark brown, trochanters smooth, femora and tibiae with narrow but distinct pale base and apices, silver pollinose. Fore and mid femora with two rows of dark, peg-like anteroventral spines in apical half. Mid and hind femora with one wrinkled indentation in basal. Hind femur with two wrinkled indentation in basal. Tibiae with two rows of short brown setae on anterior and three rows on posterior side. Hind tibia with one or two wrinkled indentations in middle and with three to four long dark posterodorsal setae (up to 0.16 mm) at apices (Fig. 47D). Tarsi light brown, distitarsi brown. Abdomen. Ground color dark, tergite 1 silver gray pollinose with a patch of dark setae (5‒6) laterally, tergites 4‒5 gray pollinose dorsolaterally, slightly extending dorsally along anterior margin. Sternites light brown laterally and brown centrally, gray pollinose. Genitalia. Genital capsule in dorsal view: epandrium and surstyli brown, gray pollinose. Epandrium longer than wide (MLE:MWE = 1.16). Surstyli symmetrical, slightly broadened at base, rectangular-shaped (Fig. 45A). Genital capsule in ventral view: gonopods long and equal in height, phallic guide strong, straight, with a finger-like projection in right side before its apex (Fig. 45B). Genital capsule in lateral view: surstyli slightly straight in basal two thirds, curved towards sternite in apical third (Fig. 45D–E). Phallic guide long, with a distinct projection pointed upwards towards surstyli (Fig. 45D–E); phallus with three narrow ejaculatory ducts, twisted apically (Fig. 45D).
