Distribution.— Belgium; one spécimen found byDr. Schouteden 

 on a leaf of StvelUzia Nicolai, April 1908, Bi'ussels Botanical Gar- 

 dens, when we were coUecting together. 



On accountofthe long antennae, and of the strong, latéral, abdo- 

 minal spines, I hâve hesitated in placing this species in the genus 

 CepJialothrips. My single spécimen is however, only mounted in 

 balsam, and difticult to describe as fully as désirable; and I do not 

 at présent think it advisable to erect a new genus on the strength 

 of this single badly-mounted spécimen.
