Hood — Descriptions of New Thysanoptera . 115 



Described from 10 females and 1 male, all taken by Mr. W. L. McAtee 

 on Baptisia tlnctoria L., at Mount Vernon, Virginia (type locality), June 

 27, 1915, and at Odenton, Maryland, June 20, 1915. 



In many points of structure this species shows affinities with cingulatut, 

 to which it is perhaps most closely related. 



Franklinielia citripes sp. nov. 



Female (macropterous). — Length about 1.6 mm. Color dark brown, 

 somewhat paler anteriorly, with all tibiae, tarsi, and most of fore femora, 

 pale lemon yellow, segment 3 of antennse, and at least basal half of 4 

 and 5, pale yellow ; fore wings clear in basal third, brownish gray beyond, 

 becoming paler toward apex. 



Head about 1.2 times as wide as long, much narrowed behind; occiput 

 with about three quite distinct, transverse, anastomozing lines and sev- 

 eral fainter ones in front of them ; interocellar bristles long, distinctly 

 shorter than eyes, a large postocular pair two-thirds as long. Eyes about 

 0.6 the length of head, about two-thirds as wide as their interval. Ocelli 

 subequal, those of posterior pair widely separated, distinctly behind 

 middle of eyes. Antenna of normal form and structure, about 2.2 times 

 the length of head ; segments 1 and 2 and 6-8 concolorous with head ; 

 3-5 yellow, 4 infuscate in apical two-fifths and 5 in apical half. 



Prothorax distinctly longer than head and about 1.4 times as wide as 

 long, suborbicular in form with anterior margin straight ; pronotum with 

 a few very faint anastomozing lines along median portion of extreme 

 anterior margin and with the posterior margin slightly transversely ru- 

 gose; bristles unusually long, dark brown in color, of the same size, 

 number, and arrangement as in F. annuUpes* Wings of fore pair 

 about thirteen times as long as width at middle, set with unusually long, 

 heavy, nearly equidistant brown bristles, of which there are about 30 on 

 costa, 23 on anterior vein, and 18 on the posterior vein. 



Abdomen broader than pterothorax ; tergite of segment 1 with oblique 

 anastomozing striae, other segments with very indistinct strise at sides; 

 segment 10 divided above in apical two-thirds ; abdominal bristles long, 

 stout, nearly black. 



Measurements of holotype: Length 1.60 mm. ; head, length 0.172 mm., 

 width 0.204 mm. ; prothorax, length 0.196 mm., width 0.281 mm. ; ptero- 

 thorax, width 0.396 mm.; fore wing, length, 1.128 mm., width near 

 base 0.120 mm., at middle 0.085 mm. ; abdomen, width 0.456 mm. 



Antennal segments: 12 3 



Length (m) 33 54 75 



Width (m) 38 30 27 

 Total length of antenna, 0.361 mm. 



Described from 5 females taken by Prof. Patricio Cardin, at Santiago 

 de las Vegas, Cuba, April 23, 1915, in citrus flowers. 



Allied to F. annuUpes and F. auripes, but easily distinguished from
