  Remarks. 
  — 
  This 
  species 
  resembles 
  T. 
  orhiculare 
  Wilson 
  in 
  lacking 
  

   tubercles 
  on 
  the 
  trunk 
  and 
  coxae, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  evidently 
  distinct 
  from 
  other 
  

   species 
  in 
  the 
  genus 
  because 
  of 
  its 
  coating 
  of 
  fine 
  hairlike 
  setae.
