GENERA I'AN I Al. \ \\l> I'll AMKA. 49 



large at base, then fine and sharp; laterals a little shorter; depressions Forming an 

 interrupted brown ocellus; ventral bag on 6th segment; ventral Buturet enclosing an 

 elongate oval space, largest on 1th segment; legs similai to the Ebon Bpecies, but 



er, posterior femur reaching only 8th segment; femur and tibia with Borne 

 cations of darker rings; fringes of middle tibiae very long; daws pa 



It is probable that the nympha belongs to the only Bpecies recorded from .North- 

 eastern Italia, viz. T. stylata Rambur. 



TRAMEA SPEC. 



One nympha in alcohol, from Ebon, Marshall Islands, Pacific Ocean, from Rev. B. <'•■ 

 Snow. Length, 23 mm. 



Similar to the Brazilian s] ies, but decidedly more slender; groove behind the 



vertex and around the antennae wide but shallow; of antennae only the two basal 

 joints are present ; palpus similar, movable hook reaching 7th tooth ; abdomen similar 

 but narrower, 7 mm., sides less rounded ; wing cases considering the length of the body 

 very short, reaching 4th segment, which proves the nympha to be a rather young one; 

 lateral spines shorter and less strong; those of 8th segment reaching tip of 9th; those 

 of 9th considerably shorter than inferior spines ; appendages shorter, inferiors with 

 strong spines, one third longer than the dorsal median, which is very sharp and nearly 

 naked ; laterals one third shorter, smooth ; legs similar in length, but much thinner ; 

 femur of posteriors reaching 9th segment; spines of the legs similar to T. lacerata, but 

 longer ; tip of posterior tibia with a short fringe ; claws pale colored. 



From the same collector was received a male imago from Ascension Island, Pacific 

 Ocean, called Panapi by the inhabitants, and a little to the east and south of Ebon. 

 The species is undescribed, and nearly related to T. basalis from Brazil. Perhaps the 

 nympha belongs to this species.
