CEPHALOTHRIPS MONILICORNIS, Reut. : 



AN ADDITION TO THE 



THYSANOPTERA OF GREAT BRITAIN.

Reprinted from " The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine," 2nd Series, Vol. xxiii. 



On the occasion of the 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 \_Nowe Formy Przylzencow (Thysanopterorum gen.et. 

 spp. novae)] in the " Academia Litterarum Cracoviensis " 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 G. monilicornis, Reut., 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. 



Gephalothrips monilicornis was first taken by Reuter in Finland, 

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

 (Schille), Italy (Buff a), and Norway (R. S. B.).
