66 THE FLORIDA ENTOMOLOGIST 
Abdomen elongated oval in outline, clear yellow, clouded with brown to- 
wards the base; bristles few, colorless, short except on the last three seg- 
ments each of which bears a single long bristle near each posterior angle; 
those on the ninth segment much longer than the tube and pointed, all 
others knobbed. Tube rather small brown; terminal bristles short, pointed. 
Described from a single female taken from a young long-leaved pine tree 
at Blanton, Fla. February, 1922. 
The genus Hindsiana Karny is distinguished from Haplothrips by the 
light color of the abdomen and the long bristles on the ninth abdominal seg- 
ment. Karny in “Zur Systematik der Orthopteroiden Insecten” (Treubia, 
vol. I, Livr. IV. pp. 211-269 gives a very useful key to the families and 
genera of Thysanoptera.)

Head considerably darker than the body; nearly 1.5 times as long as 
broad, vertex smooth; cheeks slightly bulging, roughened by a few low 
papillae. Post ocular bristles large, almost colorless, expanded at the apex 
into a knob. Eyes rather small, occupying less than a third the length and 
less than a quarter the width of the head, not pilose. Ocelli widely sep- 
arated, posterior pair situated anterior to the middle of the eyes, bordered 
with dark crescents. Mouth cone short, not reaching the middle of the 
prosternum, slightly swollen at the base, very bluntly rounded at the tip. 
Antennae: segment 1 dark brown, 2,3 and the base of 4 yellow, others 
progressively darker towards the tip; 1 trapezoidal, rather large, 32 microns 
wide at the base, 22 at the apex; 2 urn-shaped; 3 wedge-shaped; bristles, 
and sense cones short, pale, and inconspicuous. 
Prothorax about two-thirds the length of the head, breadth twice the 
length, a heavy, knobbed bristle on each posterior angle and a somewhat 
weaker one on each coxa. 
Pterothorax slightly narrower than the prothorax, sides straight, con- 
verging strongly posteriorly. Legs rather long and slender. Wings well 
developed, margined with long but comparatively few hairs, 3 or 4 in- 
ter-located ones on the fore wings. Membranes of the anterior pair quite 
dark, strongly constricted in the middle. 
Abdomen cylindrical, rather long, yellow except the tube. Posterior seg- 
ments provided with long, pointed yellow bristles. Tube dark brown, 
abruptly swollen at the base, terminal bristles twice as long as the tube, 
pointed, brown. Male not seen.
