( Figs. 2 F–H; 6C–D; 10D–F)

This species has been recorded from Cameroon and Fernando Poo ( Beier 1962). Here it is reported of for the first time from Ghana. Griffini (1908) described T. binotatus , which appears to be simply a color morph of T. hadrus ( Fig. 10 E), and was considered as such by Beier (1962).
