Notes

Previous records from the Iberian peninsula are only known from the Biscaya province in Northern Spain ( Carles-Tolrá and Saloña 2004).

Specimens of T. saltator from Mallorca have around 30 setae on the ventral side of Sc vein, which is a case similarly observed in males of T. pappi Krzeminska, 2003 from Morocco ( Driauach et al. 2015). However, in other characters the Mallorcan specimens agree with T. saltator , including wing venation not typical for T. pappi and the species-specific male gonocoxal bridge and aedeagal complex (Fig. 3 A, B, D).
