130 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Mar., '16 



at the end, dark, but the knoh white as are most of the spines on the 

 body. Eyes dark in color, rather large. Ocelli rather large. Posterior 

 pair placed near the margin of the eyes and anterior to the middle; 

 anterior pair directed forward. 



Month cone very long and sharp-pointed, reaching fully to (and 

 sometimes beyond) the posterior border of the prothorax. 



Antennae one and two-thirds times as long as the head. Segment 

 I dark brown, only a little lighter than the head ; segment 2 brownish 

 yellow, darker at the base ; segments 2 to 7 bright yellow ; 8 brownish 

 yellow ; segment 3 averaging only slightly shorter than i and 2 to- 

 gether, in some individuals longer, in others shorter ; sense cones and 

 spines about one-third the length of segment 3, very pale in color, 

 almost white. 



Prothorax subtriangular in outline, seven-twelfths as long as head 

 and over twice as broad as long, measuring from outer angles of 

 coxae. A very long, stout, knobbed spine on each posterior angle ; a 

 short, thick one on each anterior angle, and between them one inter- 

 mediate in length ; a pair along the anterior border. 



Mesothorax one-fifth broader than prothorax. Legs rather long and 

 slender, concolorous with the body except the tarsi which are a lighter 

 brown. The fore tarsi often darker than the meso- and metatarsi; 

 fore femora considerably less than half as wide as the head, sparsely 

 provided with short, very stiff, almost spine-like hairs ; these are longer 

 and less stiff on the other femora and on the tibiae and tarsi. 



Wings well developed, not at all constricted in the middle ; hairs long 

 and copious, from eight to thirteen (usually ten) near the end forming 

 a second row ; membrane brownish towards the base where it is pro- 

 vided with a short vein which bears three very heavy, long, knobbed 

 spines. 



Abdomen with rather convex sides, at the widest portion (which is 

 about the fourth segment) one-ninth wider than prothorax. Posterior 

 angles from segments 4 to 9 with spines ; those on segments 6 to 9 long 

 and heavy. Tube rather narrow, tapering to nearly half its diameter 

 at base ; length nearly three times the width at the base ; terminal hairs 

 shorter than the tube. 



Described from nine females taken from wild grape vine, 

 April 23, 1914, at Gainesville, Florida. Males unknown. 

 Type in the collection of the National Museum. 



Liothrips caryae floridensis n. subsp. (Plate V, figs. 4-6).
