Mr. R. S. Bagnall on new Thysanoptera. 359 
this species and was taken in the coastal region at Ramisi, 
a camp established by a ford of the river of that name, 60 
kilometres south of Mombasa, 6. xi. 1911. 
Dolichothrips varipes, sp. n. 
? —Length 1°8 to 2:0 mm. 
Much as in jeanneli. Fore-tibiz and tarsi wholly clear 
yellow, intermediate tibia distally for about one-sixth and 
both intermediate and hind-tarsi yellow. Wings clear, 
scale grey-brown. Antennal joints 3 to 7 yellow, the more 
distal lightly tinged with grey and 7 in some specimens 
light grey-brown distally; 8 wholly light grey-brown. 
Head only about 1°6 times as long as broad, the cheeks 
not narrowed behind eyes, subparallel to the basal sixth 
or thereabouts. Antenne about 1°6 times as long as the 
head with the intermediate joints shorter, more as in longi- 
collis ; relative lengths of joints 3 to 8 appproximately as 
follows :—20 : 22:17:16: 14:9. Postocular bristles 
short, blunt, only about 0°5 the length of an eye. Palpi 
very long and slender. 
Pronotum about 0°6 the length of the head and 1°3 times 
as broad at base as the median length. Setz developed, 
dilated at apices, the outer postero-marginal pair about 0-4 
the median length of the pronotum. Legs long, fore-tarsus 
unarmed. Duplicated series of 5-8 cilia in the fore-wing. 
Tube stout, 0°6 as long as the head. 
gd .—Smaller and more slender; fewer duplicated cilia in 
fore-wing. 
At once recognized by the smaller size, the shorter head, 
the colour of the tibize, the small series of duplicated cilia in 
the fore-wing, etc. Although I have an abundant material 
all the specimens are more or less teneral, and it is therefore 
difficult to draw up a good description. Taking into con- 
sideration Neoheegeria citripes, m., this species would seem to 
demonstrate close relationship with the genus Neoheegeeria. 
Type. In Coll. Bagnall. 
Hab. Invia, a tube containing numerous examples, in- 
cluding larv, probably Coimbatore district, but unfortu- 
nately without data (Coll. Ramakrishna).
