I can't neither agree nor disagree with Kahis. My test - this damned frons shining/not shining is very doubtfull feature. I choised T. sylvatica mostly because Paul chiosed T. frey, a very similar species to T.sylvatica (both with frons anteriory shining).
But still, it is not common image with visible posterior sides of f2 and f3, which permits to exclude arrogans, montana, punctifrons, robusta.
Frons not completely shining - not hyalipennis.
Wings without dark costal margin - not elata.
So, choise between ferruginea, fuscinervis and silvatica, or if exclude sylvatica - ferruginea, fuscinervis.
Ok, let us regard ferruginea and fuscinervis. It leads us to contradicted results, I think. According your description, Jere - frontal stripe "linear and shining" - ferruginea. But t3 with only one apical seta - fuscinervis.
Well, it is good image and good illustration why there isn't any Tetanocera in our Gallery:o
