7～9月頃に本州山地で、主にアキノキリンソウ、ハンゴンソウ、アザミ類等のキク科の花に見られる。本種は腹部側背板に副刺毛を持つことで、T. brevicornis PriesnerやダイズウスイロアザミウマT. setosus Moultonに似るが、前者は体色が一様に黄白色であること、後者は前翅が基部以外褐色であることで本種と識別できる。また、本種はヨーロッパに分布するT. fulvipes Bagnall, 1923に似るが、後者は触角がより細長く、触角第3、4節先端が明瞭に狭まることで本種と識別できる。

This species is mainly collected from the flowers of Asteraceae such as Solidago virgaurea, Jacobaea cannabifolia and Cirsium species in the mountainous area of Honshu at July to September. It is similar to T. brevicornis Priesne and T. setosus Moulton. From this species, T. brevicornis can be distinguished by the uniformly pale body and T. setosus can be distinguished by the dark fore wing with base pale. Moreover, T. typicus is similar to a European species, T. fulvipes Bagnall but fulvipes can be distinguished from typicus by having longer and slender antennae, and the segments III and IV with distinct apical neck.
