Si, potrebbe essere un esemplare di T. minuta che ha perso i peli, oppure fotografato quando era bagnato.

The habitus of T. minuta is very different: Forehead concave, pronotum shorter, humerus of the elytra more prominent.

I suppose more it is T. puncticollis rectilineata, but I need a better picture.

Probably this is not the most typical specimen, but I think it is T. minuta.

Surely I would prefer to see a better picture of the whole insect, in a right position, but I am enough sure.
Compare the curvature of elytral edges.
You can also notice, on the right elytron, the typical bands of hair of T. minuta (not visible on the left elytron).
