CEPHALOTHRIPS MONILICORNIS, Eetjt. : AN ADDITION TO THE 

 THYSANOPTERA OF GEEAT BEITAIN. 



BY RICHARD S. BAGNALL, F.L.S. 



On tlie occasion of tlie British Association Meeting at Portsmouth 

 last August, I had the opportunity of spending a few hours in the 

 New Forest, taking many interesting thrips, chiefly belonging to the 

 Terebrantia. But at Matley Bog a species of Tubuliferon, which I at 

 once recognized as a Cephalothrips, occurred on long soft grass. Until 

 1910 only the apterous form was known ; in that year, however, 

 Fryderyk Schille [No'we Formy Przylzhicnw (Thysanopterorum gen. et. 

 spp. uovob)] in the " Academia Litterarum Gracoviensis " recorded a 

 single female example of the winged form. This specimen, which 

 Herr Schille later discovered {;in litt.) was a male, has been generously 

 submitted to me with other material described by him in the above 

 mentioned paper. 



Numerous specimens of C. monilicornis, Eeut., were collected by 

 Mr. C. B. Williams and myself in the New Forest, and although 

 Williams obtained the fewer examples I was very pleased to learn that 

 he had been fortunate enough to obtain two examples of the macro- 

 pterous form, one of which he has kindly placed in my collection. 



Cephalothrips monilicornis was first taken by Renter in Finland, 

 and has been more recently met with in Bohemia (Uzel), Poland 

 (Schille), Italy (Buffa), and Norway (R. S. B.).

ANOTHEE HUNDEED NEW BEITISH SPECIES OF DIPTERA. 



BY THE LATE G. H. VERRALL, F.E.S. 



(Concluded from page 114). 



GOh. Agathomyia zetterstedti, Wahlberg. Dr. J. H. Wood still 



keeps adding to the Herefordshire species of Platypezidse and has sent 



me a male and three females of this little known species taken by him 



at Ashperton Park from September 21st to October 1st, 1907, The 



reddish abdomen of the female renders that sex very distinct, but the 



black male is as usual very much like the other males of the genus. 



61. Pipunculus incognitus, Verr. I quite expected to find that 

 this species was an inhabitant of Britain, and consequently I was not 

 surprised to receive a number of specimens taken by Col. Yerbury at 

 Nairn, in May, 1905.
