Totidem: in all parts; entirely. T.P. line: transverse posterior line; crossing the primaries of certain Lepidoptera, two-thirds or more from base: = post medial line. Trabecula: rounded, lobular masses of the procerebrum, from which arise the stalks bearing the mushroom bodies: a paired movable appendage in front of the antennae in certain bird-lice. Trachea -ae: the spirally ringed breathing tube or tubes of insects. Tracheal gills: the flattened or hair-like processes in aquatic larvae through which oxygen is absorbed from the water. Tracheary: relating to or composed of tracheae. Tracheate: supplied with trachea: a general term applied to all articulates that breathe by means of spiracular openings into a system of tubular structures that extend to all parts of the body. Tracheation: the arrangement or system of distribution of trachea. Tracheoles: the capillary trachea of the adult as they develop in masses in the larva: very small, slender tracheae. Transection: a cut across, at right angles to the body: transverse section. Transition zone: is the transcontinental belt in which the austral and boreal elements overlap: it is divided into a humid or Alleghanian area; a western arid area; and a Pacific Coast humid area: all of which see. Transitory: lasting for a short time only. Translucent: semi-transparent; admitting the passage of light but not of vision. Translucid: clear: transparent enough to be seen through. Transparent: so clear as not to obstruct vision. Transverse: when the longest diameter is across the body. Transverse incision: = transverse sulci. Transverse sulci: the transverse grooves of pronotum in many Orthoptera. Transverse suture: in Diptera, a transverse groove extending inward from the root of wing and obsolete in the middle of dorsum. Trapeziform: in the form or shape of a trapezium. Trapezium: a four-sided figure in which no two sides are parallel. {Scanner's comment: sic This is presumably an error in editing the original text. A trapezium has two sides parallel. Compare next item.} Trapezoid -al: a four-sided plane of which two sides are parallel and two are not. Tri-: three; a combining form. Triangle: in Odonata: a small, triangular cell at the junction of cubitus with cubitus 1: a similar cell adjoining it basally is the internal triangle discoidal triangle: cardinal cell; q.v. Tri-articulate: composed of three joints or articles.
