from the Seychelles Islands and Rodrigues. 287 
but unfortunately this delicate structure is mutilated in the 
whole of the material through mounting dry. 
Antenne of same type as in Dinurothrips hookeri, slender, 
about 2°2 times as long as the head, with faint chitinous 
rings ; segments 3 and 4 vase-like in form and abruptly 
narrowed in the apical fourth, 5 normally clavate; 6 to 8 
closely united, narrowing from the distal third of 6 and 
produced, 8 being a long, slender, pencil-like segment. 
Trichomes colourless, simple, very long, and very slender. 
Relative lengths of joints 3 (including stem) to 8 approxi- 
mately as follows :—26 : 22 :18:15:5:1]1. 
Fore-wings broad at base, thence narrow and parallel to 
near tip; about sixteen times as long as broad near middle. 
Medianly at base, margins of scale and fork of the veins 
brown, otherwise basal third only lightly tinted, then a band 
of grey-brown occupying one-eighth the wing-length, and a 
similar dark band occupying about one-fourth the wing- 
length just before the tip. Spines short and stout, mostly 
dark brown in colour ; one at fork of veins ; four in upper 
vein—that is, one light one near fork and another near tip 
of wing, a dark one at beginning of first dark patch and 
another near end of second dark patch; six in lower vein 
widely spaced, but approximately 2+1+1+42 or 24+2+4+2; 
costa, commencing on a line with vein-fork, with eleven 
short spines. 
I have little doubt but that this is the same species as 
recorded from the Seychelles Islands. There is some 
variability in the arrangement of the six spines of lower vein 
in the fore-wing. In the Mahé example there is one extra 
in the middle pair, making seven, and on one wing of the 
Rodrigues material there is one less, making five. In some 
specimens the six sete are more or less equidistant, thus 
reading 1+1+1+1+1+1.
