NO, 2008. NEW 8PECTE9 OF THY8AN0PTERA— MORGAN. 27 



This species may be distinguished from its nearest congener, 

 Thrips tahaci, by the red ocellar crescents, by the general color, 

 which is brown, and by the stouter spines.

 • Female. — Measurements, length, excluding connective tissue, about 

 1.4 mm.; width of body 0.35, which is about two-fifths its length. 

 Head, length 0.16, width 0.15. Prothorax, length 0.12, width 

 through coxse 0.27. Mesothorax at front angles 0.27 wide; meta- 

 thorax 0.3 wide. General color: head, legs, and fii'st to fifth antennal 

 segments yellow; thorax yellowish brown; remainder of body Ught 

 brown. 



Head about as wide as long, narrowed in front, sides nearly parallel, 

 cheeks very sUghtly roughened, front produced; basal segments of 

 antennae large, approximate. Eyes small, rather coarsely facetted, very 

 dark purphsh, almost black by transmitted fight, very fight gray by 

 reflected light. Ocelfi wanting. Post-ocular bristles long, slender, light 

 yefiow, and sharp pointed. Mouth cone short and broad, reaching 

 only half across prosternum. Labrum constricted near the tip, 

 sharply pointed and tipped with black. Labium with sides nearly 

 straight, tip broad, truncated and edged with black. Maxillary palpi 

 short, the first segment very short, the second much longer and tipped 

 with three or four bristles, which are about as long as both segments 

 of the palpi. Labial palpi short and indistinct. Head yeUow with a 

 very light shading of brown at the sides. 



Relative lengths of segments of antennae as follows :

Color: one to four yellow; three and four with a very slight brownish 

 tinge; five brownish yellow; six light brown; eight dark brown; seven 

 intermediate in color between six and eight. Two curved transpar- 

 ent sense cones on each of segments tlixee to eight near the tip, one 

 within, one without. 



Prothorax trapezoidal, hind angles broadly rounding, sides nearly 

 straight. All spines on prothorax yellow and sharp pointed. One 

 long spine at each posterior angle, a similar one on each side on the 

 posterior margin about one-third the distance from the hind angle to 

 the meson, a midiateral spine of similar length to the one at the pos- 

 terior angle. The spine at the anterior angle is much shorter than the 

 foregoing spines. Anterior marginals wanting. Mesothorax with front 

 angles rather abrupt, broadest at juncture with metathorax. Meta- 

 thorax converging behind. Wings wanting. Legs of medium length, 

 stout; fore femora somewhat thickened. All femora and tibiae bear
