Working backwards through the key here:

... it seems to be fine.
The final split is a little strange, as my one appears to have "hind tibiae distinctly dilated towards the tip" as illustrated. However, this is a bit more vague and less visible on the photos than the number of scutellar bristles. So I guess this must be correct as T.flavipes.
