A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE ON SOME JAVANESE 

 SACCHARICOLOUS THYSANOPTERA. 



By G. W. Kirkaldy. 



In 1890 W. Kriiger described* Thrips sacchari and Phlceo- 

 thrips lucassenii. Two years later J. D. Kobus described T. ser- 

 rata, binervis, and striatoptera,\ and in 1898 Kobus reprinted his 



* " B er , Versuchst. West-Java," Hefte 1 and 2. f " Med. Proefst. Oost- 

 Java," No. 43. Both these probably published in the ' Archief voor Suiker- 

 industrie,' 1890 and 1892 respectively.
