Coloration, dentition and structure of this species are very similar to
that of T. arcus. The dentition of this species differs in
a more massive fixed finger, a fondal notch that is deeper than it is
wide but narrower than the base of the fixed finger and a minute
intermediate tooth in addition to one at the base of the principal tooth
(Figure 10). Differences in structure include the lack of a palpal
scopula and the lack of abdominal ctenidia.
