NOTE: According to BLÜTHGEN (1930) T. guineensis may be simply a variety of T. lettowvorbecki View in CoL and we preferred to consider it as a synonym because the differences are minimal.

DIAGNOSIS. The male differs from T. bicometes only by segments 8 to 11 of the antennae having notches and by the antennae being with fewer curved segments. The female differs from all other Thrinchostoma by its long malar area (fig. 18a).
