  • For Sarawak, Ng (1989) clarified the identity of T. kuchingensis (Nobili, 1901), which had been synonymised with T. loxophthalma by Bott (1970) and showed it was a valid species. Specimens from eastern Sarawak that had been identified as T. loxophthalma (type locality probably southeastern Kalimantan) by Holthuis (1979) and Ng (1989) were also referred to a new species, T. ovis, by Ng (1997), who also described another new species, T. telur, from Brunei.
