 fore-femora very sharply bent basally, causing a prominent 

 angle at base within ; the outer radius adorned by two promi- 

 nent spine-set tubercles, one short and straight, the other 

 larger, slightly curved, and surmounted by a curved spine ; 

 a strong curved spine springs from a prominence at anterior 

 angle without, much as in Dicaiothrips. Abdomen elon- 

 gated, tube short, about 1*2 times as long as segment 8 and 

 only 0*6 the length of head.

Klinothrips femoralis, gen. et sp. n., $ . Left fore-leg. 



This species is separated from $ Mecynothrips, Bagn., by 

 the less strongly produced head, the simple prothorax, and 

 the structure of the fore-femora ; and from Kleothrips 

 (=Dracothrtps i Bagn.) and Dicaiothrips, Bufm., by the 

 last-named feature. It should be noted that, with the excep- 

 tion of D. nitidus, Bagn., the head in Dicaiothrips is only 

 slightly produced, never as much as either the length of an 

 eye or of the base of the produced part.
