The diploid chromosome set of T. paraskevae is 2n = 6 + B, as determined from an examination of the salivary gland chromosomes. The B chromosome was found in every individual but not in every cell. The B chromosome looks like a 'heteropycnotic' body, which in some cells has a loose structure.

New geographic records are made for undetermined specimens from the the islands of Flores, Timor, and Buru. These records further extend the known distributional limit of Aenetus in South East Asia in a region comprising Gondwana terranes. The Selayar and Sumba islands localities are geologically part of, or derived from, 'continental' Laurasia, but may originally comprise fragments of Gondwana that accreted in Cretaceous time. A tectonic correlation would indicate the possibility that the distribution of Aenetus in Southeast Asia was mediated either as fragments of Gondwana accreting to Asia in the Cretaceous, or more recently by the Sula Spur of northeastern Gondwana merging with Southeast Asia about 25 Ma. The presence of A. sumatraensis Grehan, Witt & Ignatev in northern Sumatra may have resulted from tectonic accretion such as the Woyla island arc, or represents later range expansion following convergence of the Sula Spur.
