4 [January, 



in structure, so much so that Reuter described them as two species, 

 the ? under the name of tibialis, and the J as longispina. 



In June of this year (1907) Dr Randell Jackson sent me a large 



? from Delamere Forest, and later he was fortunate enough 1o secure 



further specimens, including a single example of the <$ . They were 



found amongst fallen leaves lying on a bank clothed with heather and 



bilberry. 



Distribution. Vienna (a. d., 1818, Hitter v. Goldegg and later 

 Heeger), Finland (Reuter), and Bohemia (Uzel). 



Liothrips setinodis, Reuter. 



Phlceothrips setinodis, Keuter, The Scottish Naturalist, v, p. 310, 1880 : Lio- 

 thrips setinodis, Uzel, Mon. der Ordn. Thysanoptera, p. 263, pi. vii, fig. 147, 1895. 



Another fairly large species, of which I have taken a fine ? on 

 elm (31.V1II.07), Gibside, Co. Durham. Uzel says that it is found 

 on the under-side of oak leaves and, in the winter, in moss. 



Distribution. Scotland (Reuter) and Bohemia (var. pragensin 

 only, Uzel). 



Tricliotlirips ccespitis, Uzel. 

 Trichothrips csespitis, Uzel, Mon. der Ordn. Thysanoptera, p. 248, 1895. 



A single example, apparently referable to this apterous species, 

 taken at Gibside in moss. It is one of the smallest forms, being 

 less than a millemetre in length and is easily recognised from the 

 closely allied T. pedicularia, Haliday, and T. semicceca, Uzel, by its 

 small size, the absence (or abbreviation) of the ocelli, and by the 

 comparatively short proboscis, which only extends to the middle 

 of the prosternum. My specimen does not agree, however, with the 

 published description in the coloration of the head. 



Uzel says that the species is a turf-dweller (Rasenbewohner), 

 whereas others of the genus are invariably found under bark, or in 

 Polyporus. 



Sub-Order TEREBRANTIA. 



Euthrips robusta, Uzel. 



Physojius robusta, Uzel, Mon. der Ordn. Thysanoptera, p. 104, pi. v, figs. 55 

 and 56, 1895. 



In the flowers of the field scabious (Scabiosa nrvensis) at Hart 

 and near Blaydon-on-Tyne, Go. Durham, August and September. 

 Apparently very local. 



Distribution. Bohemia (Uzel).
