TRAMEA SPEC. 



r.il nymphse and parts in bad condition in alcohol, from Porto Segaro, Brazil. 

 Thayer Exped. Length, 17 nun., and parts of larger specimens. 



The principal character showing the difference of the species is the very short dor- 

 sal median appendage, which is very pointed and only half as long as the inferior. 

 There is among them a nympha belonging to a different species ; lateral spines shorter 

 jments ; appendages short, the inferiors thickened internally below base. The 

 ■n is in very bad condition. 



TRAMEA BASILARIS. (Supposition.) 

 Rainbur, Neuropt., p. :>•">. 



Two young nymphae from Zanzibar, from C. Cooke. Length, 20 mm. 



Similar to T. lacerata, but more elongated, abdomen narrower, its sides nearly 

 straight; a flat but moderate groove behind the vertex; antenna? long, 4th joint less 

 than half 3d, the following longer than 4th. darker; palpus densely sprinkled with small 

 black dots; teeth moderately long; movable hook long, thin; inside along the superior 

 margin of palpus nine very evident black spots; abdomen nearly twice as long as broad, 

 sides nearly straight; lateral spines long, thinner, of 8th segment reaching end of last 

 segment ; appendages very sharp, dorsal median a third shorter than inferiors ; laterals 

 short, about half the length of the dorsal ; legs long, thin, femur and tibia with indi- 

 cations of darker rings ; posterior femora reaching 7th segment ; claws pale. 



'I'lu' occurrence of T. basilaris is known in Mozambique, in Peters"s Voyage, but not 

 yet in Zanzibar.

 with fine brown dots; wing cases reaching half of 7th segment; abdomen 9 mm.
