2, THE FLORIDA ENTOMOLOGIST 
3-5, segments 7-8 and tarsi lemon yellow. Color by transmitted light; head, 
thorax, abdomen, femora, tibiae, and segment 2 of antennae deep brown; 
tarsi, distal half of segments 3, 4, 5 and segments 6-8 light brown, 7 and 8 
lighter than 6, proximal half of segments 3 to 5 gray brown, Wings clear 
in basal 2/5 and distal 1/5 except over veins, remainder brown, forming a 
broad band. Posterior wings clear except for dark brown median vein. 
Head nearly straight across front to middle of insertion of antennae, 
thence curving forward very nearly to base of second antennal segment 
forming a projection between the antennae as broad as basal segment. 
Eyes not protruding, rather coarsely facetted, minutely pilose, occupying 
slightly more than half the width of the head and 2/3 its length; with 
orange pigmentation. Ocelli large, approximate, the posterior pair opposite 
center of eyes, slightly fore-shortened due to their position on sides of 
hump, anterior ocellus on front margin of hump and strongly directed 
forward. Cheeks slightly roughened and converging evenly and strongly 
to prothorax. Dorsal surface behind ocelli very distinctly though finely 
transversely striate, and very slightly so in front of anterior ocellus. Spines 
upon head sparse and minute. Antennae situated rather low on front 
bearing few spines and those small. Branched sense cones placed as in 
Frankliniella, but in this specimen they are much enlarged and long. A 
long transparent sensory hair located on inner margin of six near the 
middle. 
Prothorax very distinctly though finely transversely striate, anterior 
angles broadly rounding to the middle of the segment, posterior angles 
slightly rounding, without long spines, although rather low down on each 
anterior angle, and on posterior angles a single very short spine is visible, 
remnants of the row on the posterior margin are found in a pair of very 
short, rather stout spines on each side of meson. Mesonotum and metano- 
tum distinctly and finely striate. Legs short and the fore pair, particu- 
larly, quite stout. Femora and tarsi sparsely pubescent. Wings narrow, 
rine vein heavy, at middle about 1/15 as broad as long, spines on costa 
and veins small, costa bears 23, fore vein bears 9 spines situated as fol- 
lows, 3 near base, 4 near middle, 1 at fourth fifth and one near tip; 
posterior vein bears 3 spines all beyond middle of vein, two being near the 
middle and the third just within brown area near fourth fifth. Anterior 
vein runs all the way very near costa. Fringe on costa long, slender and 
sparse, fringe on posterior margin long, slender and straight. 
Abdomen striate on sides of first to 7th segments, constriccted at 
segments, broadest at about 5th segment, converging evenly from 6th 
segment to the stout cone-shaped 10th segment. Conspicuous spines only 
on last three segments, two lateral pair on nine and much shorter median 
pair on 10 quite prominent: and dark brown. The median pair on 9 consid- 
erably smaller than those on 10. 8th segment bears a fine comb-like 
fringe of minute spines on posterior dorsal margin. A dark chitinous 
thickening extends across dorsum of segments 2 to 8 near anterior margin. 
10th segment is entire above. .
