THYSANOPTERA OF N. A. 
Additions and a Correction 
J. R. WATSON 
The writer has recently received from Prof. Harry 8. Smith 
of California specimens of a thrips infesting lily bulbs in Los 
Angeles Co., Cal. The insect proved to be Liothrips vaneecket 
Priesner, hitherto known only from Europe. 
Another addition to the American species of Liothrips is L. 
urichi Karny (“A New Liothrips from Trinidad,” Ann. Mag. 
Nate erst, 9. XII.) 
The late Prof. R. C. Treherne in the Canadian Entomologist 
records the following new species from B. C.: Thrips physa- 
pus L.; Taeniothrips lemanis Treherne, T. vulgatissimus Hal. 
var. meridionalis Pries., T. pallipennis Uzel, T. orionis Treherne, 
and Frankliniella nubila Treherne. 
An examination of a larger series of the author’s Phloeothrips 
drakei reveals that it is identical with Acanthothrips karnyi 
Hood.
