REMARKS. Ahmadzadeh et al. (2012) detected deep divergence between T. princeps and T. kurdistanicu s (at that time considered a subspecies of T. princeps ) comparable with interspecific distances between other species of the genus. Based on this evidence supported by numerous morphological distinctions of the two taxa, the authors promoted its species rank.
