I key this to T. miki based on the long dark and light hairs behind eyes. Is that correct?

According to the Falk key T. maculicornis only have pale hairs on the postocular margin.

But if you think it is rather maculicornis, then I belive that Grin

Happy new year!

Ah, my mistake, you wrote “ behind eyes “

The key is misleding to put it mildly.
And it does not mention the highly characteristic narrow alula for
maculicornis

I would never write a key like this Smile
