Diagnosis - Length female 2.50-2.60-2.75, male 2.50-2.63-2.72; width of head female 0.98-2.02-1.04, male l.OO-i.02-1.05. Hemielytra with a variable dark brown to blackish mark along costal area which tends to cover a part to most of the apical transverse pale yellow band distally on corium (Fig. 16). Transverse yellow band distally on corium often divided in two parts by a narrow longitudinal brown stripe. Pala with 27-30 bristles in lower and 22-23 in upper row of palm. Comparative notes - Typical specimens of these species can be easily se­parated on base of the colour patterns (Figs 15-16). Unfortunately the pat­tern of T. schreiben is very variable and some, especially teneral, specimens look very similar to specimens of T. fasciata. The light transverse patch pos­teriorly on the corium T. schreiberi often has in a longitudinal dark stripe di­viding it into two parts, whereas in T. fasciata such a dividing stripe is lacking. Figs 15-16. Tenagobia (Fasciagobia) spp., dorsal view, legs omitted: 15 = T. fasciata NlESER, 1977, length 2.78 mm, 16 = T. schreiberi ESPÍNOLA, 1975, length 2.55 mm
