Clypeus concave laterally immediately below antennal insertion, virtually flat elsewhere; densely and confusedly punctate; apical/ventral margin with a pair of short subrounded free teeth medially. Scape bicarinate. Flagellomere 1 1.7 × pedicel length; flagellomere 2 1.9 × pedicel length. Mandible obliquely tridentate apically, inner tooth larger than medial tooth; lacking dorsal or ventral projections. Mesosoma . Epaulets well-defined, slightly projected from anterior margin of pronotum, broadly separated from humeral carina, anterolateral angles of pronotum subangulate. Anterior face of pronotum sparsely punctate with interspersed micropunctures throughout. Tegula convex, mostly glabrous and impunctate except for dense coarse punctures along inner and anterior margins. Mesoscutum densely and coarsely foveolate-punctate, notaulus and parapsis present, reduced to posterior half of mesoscutum. Scutellum slightly gibbose, with well-defined dorsal and posterior faces; densely and coarsely foveolate-punctate with broad medial longitudinal, slightly elevated, “carina-like” area on dorsal face; unsculptured area conspicuously broadened apicad. Axilla in dorsal view produced posterolaterally as short acute projection, coarsely and densely foveolate-punctate dorsally.

Spots color varying from bright yellow to opaque orange. Body setae highly variable, usually predominantly silvery-white varying in density, except the following areas with black setae varying in density: head, pronotal dorsum, lateral face of pronotum (except ventral third), mesonotal dorsum medially, propodeal dorsum medially, T1 medially, disc of T2 (except over integumental spots), fringe of T2–5 sublaterally (sometimes extending to lateral margins of T5); T6 medially (except pygidial plate); fringe of S5, and S6. Some specimens have a transverse band of silvery-white setae covering the vertex; the silvery-white longitudinal lateral stripes of silvery-white setae vary in width and length, from reaching the midlle of pronotal dorsum to ending before pronotal spiracles. MALE. Integument black to brownish-black, except flagellomeres and mandibles partially reddish-brown. Body setae predominantly silvery-white varying in density, except following areas with black setae varying in density: mesoscutum, axillar projections, scutellum, posterior half to posterior third of T2, fringe of T5 medially, T6–7 (except pygidial plate), fringe of S6, and S7. Tibial spurs yellowish-white. Wings light brown infuscated on apical third, hyaline with brown veins elsewhere.

Distribution. Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, and Paraguay.

An additional 177♀ and 67♂ from various localities in BRAZIL, PERU, BOLIVIA, VENEZUELA and PARAGUAY have also been examined ( AMNH, ANSP, INHS, UCRC, DZUP, ZMUC, UFRR, MZSP, DGMC, MIUP, MNHN, MNRJ, EMUS, MNCN, CZMA, INPA, MPEG, FSCA, LACM, ANSP, RBINS, UFRN, UFT, UFMG, DEI, UMMZ, CUIC, NHM, CMBC, MCZC) .

Remarks. After the sex association of T. indica and T. selligera , the repeated co-ocurrence of T. almada and the four female species synonymous with T. parallela were the main basis for associating and synonymizing these species. Females of T. parallela are distinct in the shape of their mesosoma, with pronounced pronotal and propodeal spiracles, as well as the densely sculptured and obscurely striate lateral propodeal face. The type specimens of T. parallela , T. lineifera , T. indicoides , T. gausapata , and T. pillinata are structurally identical, differing only in setal and color patterns.
