Trichoptera, specifically, a hyaline spot on second fork of median vein. Thyrsus: a cluster. Thysanoptera: fringe-winged: an ordinal term, applied to species with four narrow, similar wings, lengthily fringed; mouth parts fitted for puncturing and scraping; metamorphosis incomplete: the Thripids. Thysanura: fringe-tails; wingless, mandibulate insects without metamorphosis; with anal appendages; body covered with scales; thoracic segments similar. Tiarate -us: turban or tiara-like. Tibia -ae: the shank: that part of the leg articulated to the femur basally and which bears the tarsus at the distal end. Tibial epiphysis: a movable process attached near the base of the inner side of the anterior tibia in many Lepidoptera. Tibial membrane: in male Cicada, the drum-like vibratory membrane that produces the sound. Tip: the extremity; the part furthest removed from the base. Titillator: a small process just below the penis in some Orthoptera. Tomentose: covered with fine hair, so matted together that particular hairs cannot be separated. Tomentum: a form of pubescence composed of matted, woolly hair: in Diptera applied to a covering of short, flattened, more or less recumbent, scale-like hair which merges gradually into dust or pollen. Tongue: an indefinite term, applied usually to the coiled mouth structure of Lepidoptera; the lapping organ of flies; the ligula of bees and wasps and, sometimes also to the hypopharynx of other insects. Tooth: an acute angulation: a short pointed process from an appendage or margin. Topomorph -ic: a geographic form, variety or subspecies of a widely distributed species: developed by local environment. Topotype: is a specimen collected in the exact locality whence the original type was obtained. Tornal: relating to or concerning the tornus. Tornus: in Lepidoptera, the junction of the termen and dorsum of wing: = hind or anal angle; q.v. Torose: swelling into knots or protuberances. Torpid: lying motionless by reason of cold or other natural conditions that unfavorably affect the organism. Torqueate: with a ring or collar. Torquillus: = rotula. Tortilis: twisted. Tortulose-us: hump-backed; a surface with a few large elevations: beaded; moniliform. Tortuose -us: irregularly curved and bent; snake-like. Tortuous: = Tortuose. Torulus: the basal socket joint of the antenna upon which the organ is articulated for movement in all directions.
