tennae about 2"5 times the length of the head with the sixth 

 joint (as in ornatus, Jabl.., and degeeri, Uz.) divided, with the 

 style long, longer than joint 6. Joints 5 and 6 broadly 

 united. 



Belonging to the section wherein the sixth antennal joint 

 is divided and easily separated from both ornatus and degeeri 

 by the long antennal style and the coloration of the antennae, 

 body, wings, &c.

Dendrothrips indicus, sp. n. 



Length about 0*7 mm. 



Colour brown, end of tibiee and tarsi yellowish. Antennal 

 joint 1 light yellowish to grey-brown, 2 brown, 3-5 yellow to 

 greyish-yellow, 6 to 8 brown, 6 inclined to be lighter basally. 

 Fore-wings with the second fourth grey-brown and a narrow 

 grey-brown bar near tip. 



Very near to D. sexmaculatus, Bagn. (Ceylon), but differing 

 sharply in the colour of the abdomen and wings. Antennal 

 joints 5 and 6 closely united and together longer than 3 and 1, 

 siyle short, 6 not divided. Antennae more than twice as long 

 as the head. 



c? . — Smaller. Abdominal sternites 2 to 7 with a small, 

 slightly oviform, central, thinly chitinized area.

Scolotlirips 6-maculatus (Pergande). 



I have had the opportunity of examining Schille's type of 

 Chcetothrips uzeli, which is larger than the 0*57 mm. given 

 in his description. It belongs to the ge'ius Scolothrips, as 

 already stated, and if not identical with S. Q-inaculatus, it 

 comes very near to it. The second antennal joint is greyish, 

 and not concolorous with the first, whilst the dark bands 

 across the fore-wings are larger. Comparison with American 

 examples of S. 6-maculatus is desirable before reaching a 

 decision as to the specific identity.
