Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| F. Cheng et al. 2017 | This new species is distinguished by having an overall smaller skull than T. daloushanensis and T. chapensis (Figs. 5A–D). It has a dome-shaped braincase that differs from the attened braincase of T. cinereus and T. daloushanensis (Figs. 5A, 5D, and 5E). Its creamy white ventral pelage differs from the yellowish-white ventral pelage of T. chapensis. The anterofossettes on its M1 are narrow and only one-half as wide as in T. daloushanensis (Figs. 7A and 7D). It differs from all other living species in the genus by the absence of posterofos- settid on M1 (Fig. 7A). |
