Etymology Authors: "The species name of T. tribus sp. nov. is taken from the Latin word for three, reflecting the division of the anterior segments of the new species, which comprise three annuli." Travisia is feminine so it is assumed the authors intend 'tribus' to be a noun in apposition as adjectivally it would be an incorrect gender agreement ending. Note that authorities do not directly agree with Avery et al that tribus means three, which in Latin is 'tres'. However, 'tribus' which became 'tribe' in current English, was the Latin word for the semi-mythical division of the earliest Roman people into three, each with their own name. WoRMS now has only two species epithets of 'tribus' but also has only two using "tres" alone (rather than tres-something). [details]
