Head (Fig. 4E). Vertex and genae armed with long setae. Compound eyes large, laterally protruding; ocelli present, with compound eyes linked by two light stripes, lateral ocelli absent. Antennal scape cylindrical, narrower than frontal costa; flagellum slender with small villi. Maxillary palpi with the apical segment apically transverse and broad; labial palpi relatively short. Pronotum (Figs. 4C, D). Pronotum covered with fine setae, disc sparsely with long setae; anterior and posterior margin with long setae. Tegmen almost extending to abdominal apex; dorsal field with six elevated longitudinal veins and false veins; transverse veins between longitudinal veins inconspicuous; hindwings absent.

This new species is distinguished from other members of the genus by the following: black legs, the others are usually light colored. T. nigripes sp. nov. is similar to Trigonidium cicindeloides Rambur, 1838 in ectoparamere (both of them bifurcate), but the upper branch of T. nigripes sp. nov. is longer and more curved; the lower branch is blunt and rounded.
