– Interior projection of superior appendage much shorter than the distance from the margin of S10 to the base of the projection ................................................................................................ 7
7. Tip of superior appendage with a conspicuous deep cleft or excision in lateral view (e.g., Fig. 13A–E View Fig ) ........................... 8
– Tip of superior appendage variously shaped but without such a cleft or excision ( Figs. 13F View Fig , 18C, D View Fig ), or at most a small notch, difficult to see from most angles ( Fig. 7A, C View Fig ) ................... 11

12. Superior appendage conspicuously expanded from ca half length in both dorsal and lateral views ( Figs. 12F View Fig , 13F View Fig ), the dorsal projection large and directed dorsally, clearly visible in lateral view ( Fig. 12F View Fig ) ................................................. T. longigaster View in CoL
– Superior appendage only expanded in apical ca one quarter to one third (depending upon angle viewed from), the dorsal projection inwardly directed ( Fig. 18A View Fig ), not visible in lateral view ( Fig. 18C View Fig ) ............................................ T. belalongensis View in CoL
