between this and base are two short stout hairs; the claw on the penul- 
timate joint reaches to the middle of the “‘thumb’’; a hair arises laterally 
from the center of the ‘‘thumb’’, and another from a similar position on 
the penultimate joint. The legs are relatively short, barely as long as 
width of body; femur only half again as long as wide—exactly equalling 
tarsus, tibia a trifle longer than patella which equals the trochanter: 
tip of tarsus bears a claw which is nearly straight for two-thirds its 
length and then bent to nearly a right angle; a second claw, arising 
from the other at its point of origin from the onychium, is almost 
straight and forms with the first an obtuse angle; four strong spurs 
(corresponding to the usual 4-cleft claw) have their origin in common 
with the claws; the usual series of four capitate hairs arise by the sides 
of the claws from the tip of the onychium. 
The egg is globose-lenticular and bears a stalk which varies in 
development from a length equalling the height of the egg to a mere 
rudimentary papilla; guy fibrils are occasionally seen connecting the 
egg with the leaf; the color is smoky-amber. 
Type No. 19088, U. S. Nat. Mus. 
The type material is from Orlando, Florida, August 28, 
1914, from the upper surface of camphor leaves, collected by 
W. W. Yothers. The species is evidently nearest T. mytil- 
aspidis, Riley, from which it is easily distinguished through its 
lack of dorsal tubercles, marked difference in the detail of the 
palpal characters, emarginate mandibular plate, entirely dif- 
ferent proportion one to the other of the leg joints, and through 
the novel arrangement of the tarsal appendages. 
An extensive series of measurements of material on Euca- 
lyptus and camphor from Florida, and on oak, elm and pecan 
from South Carolina have yielded the following averages:
