Described from 1 female collected from the stomach of a lizard, Anolis 
pulchellus D. & B. Porto Rico. G. N. Wolcott, collector. 
This species may be distinguished from its nearest congener, G rufi- 
cauda Hood, by the yellow color of the 1st antennal segment and by the 
light brown head. 
Diceratothrips wolcotti, sp. nov. 
Female:—General color dark blackish brown; fore femora yellowish 
brown at tip inside and bases of all femora yellow brown; hind and inter- 
mediate tarsi brown, fore tarsi bright yellow brown; antennal segments 
1 and 2 and all but tip of 3 yellow brown, remainder of antennae dark 
brown. Fore wings brown in basal half, fading to gray brown in apical half; 
hind wing shaded like front wing, but lighter; both wings with two dark 
brown longitudinal stripes running from near base to about middle of 
wing; one stripe near anterior margin of wing, the other through the center. 
Head 1/4 longer than wide—cheeks slightly convex—narrowed some- 
what behind and constricted just before a collar—like thickening very 
near posterior margin; surface roughened, cheeks set with a few short, 
stout spines; eyes moderate in size, finely facetted, not pilose; ocelli large, 
well separated, posterior pair very near inner margins of eyes and stand- 
ing almost entirely back of middle of compound eye; anterior ocellus in a 
depression in front and strongly inclined forward. Post ocular bristles 
long and sharp; the pair of bristles on front laterad of anterior ocellus 
large and blunt, reaching to middle of 2nd antennal segment, just mesad 
of each of these bristles may be seen a small bristle about 1/5 as long as its 
companion. Antennae normal to the genus, twice as long as head. Mouth 
cone broad and broadly rounded at tip; reaching 3/4 across prosternum.
