Differs from T. heros in its smaller size (on average), less dorsi-ventrally compressed shape, mid- to red-brown colouration, uniform dark grey underside, and the outer (lateral) margins of the elytra being light red to orange-brown or salmon pink.
Occurs with Temognatha heros in major emergence events and while often abundant, it is is usually present in lower numbers than that species. Many SA Museum specimens of T. parvicollis have not yet had their data captured.

Tepper 1887 reported that the larva of this species (as Stigmodera parvicollis), along with four other Temognatha species "inhabit the so-called mallee roots, the subterranean trunk of Eucalyptus uncinata [= E. leptophylla], E. oleosa, and E. gracilis.
