MegatJtrips honoris j sp. n. 

 Syu. M. quadrituherculatus in part. 



In referring Idolothrips quadrituherculatus to the genus 

 ]\Je(]athrips 1 described a ^ example which, despite certain 

 colour-ditferences, I presumed to be referable to the species 

 quadrituherculatus. Tliis male example is described in this 

 series of descriptions. Part VIII. (Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 

 ser. 8, vol. xvii., May 1916, p]). 406-407), but further 

 material has produced ^ examples of another species of 

 Megathrips agreeing in the type of coloration with M.quadri- 

 iuberculatus and undoubtedly referable to that species.

 outwardly directed, but scarcely curved, and not quitf? 

 reaching the line of the posterior margin ; 8 with a pair of 

 lateral tooth-like processes near posterior angles.
