distally and basally, the former with pedicel. Relative 

 lengths of segments approximately as follows : — 29 : 40 : 78 : 

 76 : 47 : 64 : 15 : 19. Pronotum with sides rounded, not 

 strongly transverse (about 1'3 times as broad as long) ; 

 bristles at anterior angles somewhat prominent, about 0*2 the 

 length of the pronotum; those at posterior angles only 

 moderately long and strong, the inner pair longer than the 

 outer and about 0'4 the length of the pronotum. Fore-legs 

 more than usually long, rather stout. Wings long, moder- 

 ately slender; the fore pair with setse as follows : costa 23- 

 26; upper vein 4 (3) + 7-10, running into the distal half, 

 with 2 (3) in distal fifth ; lower vein with 14-16. Abdomen 

 long and slender. Tergite 9 with a series of two pairs of 

 minute setse, the outer pair being on a higher plane and a 

 little longer than the inner ; the bristle at posterior angles 

 rather long, somewhat variable, strong, with a shorter stronger 

 spine at each angle immediately within.

I have fortunately had the opportunity of examining 

 co-types of iSchille's Cryptothrips fuliginosus, and find that it 

 cannot be referred to the genus Cryptothrips or any allied 

 genus — that, in fact, it is a typical Haplothrips, and identical 

 with the species I described under the name of obscuripennis. 



Hood's //. nubilipennis comes very near to this species ; 

 it was described from a single example, and the colour of the
