Hi,

I'm having some difficulties deciding on the species of this specimen, and I don't have any identified material with which to compare.
Outer vertical bristles seem to be relatively large, and mid tibiae seem to have 3 ad. But the calyptrae are white with yellowish edge, but perhaps this is a less important feature. As for the genitalia, I can't make up my mind with only illustrations to compare.
All things considered, I think it's probably T. solivaga, but would like confirmation if possible.
