LIMOTHRIPS CEREALIUM Haliday ((3) 

 I.imotJn-ips avenœ HiNDS (<S), p. 138, pi. I, figs. 10-12; pi. II, lig. 13. 



For some time I hâve considered that the Norlh American form 

 Limothrips avenœ Hinds was the same as the European Limotl-rips 

 cerealiiim Haliday. I hâve now had the opportunity of studying 

 spécimens from différent parts of the Old and New World, and hâve 

 thus confirmed my opinion as to the identity of L. avenœ (1902) 

 with L. cerealium (1836). 



L. avenœ must therefore he regarded as a synonym of Haliday's 

 L. cerealium, a species which may he expected to occur where-ever 

 cereal crops are cultivated; it is also found in varions grasses.
