NEW GENERA AND SPECIES OF THYSANOPTERA 20I 



sparingly furnished with minute white setEe; terminal hairs 

 longer than tube. Abdominal spines long and knobbed. 



Type — In British Museum. 



Hab. — Several specimens, Queensland (1902-319, F. P. 

 Dodd). 



Eurynothrips denticoUis sp. n. (PI. VI., fig. 15). 



Length 375 mm.; length of prothorax 0-78 mm. ; breadth 

 of prothorax i"o mm.; breadth of mesothorax "75 mm. 



Resembling EnrynotJirips magnicollis mihi in general 

 structure. 



The head is not quite one-third the length of the prothorax 

 and one-third the width ; the eyes appear to be more rounded 

 dorso-laterally ; the cheeks are constricted sharply to middle 

 and there acutely widened, here differing from any described 

 species of thrips (see figure) ; whilst there is a slight swelling 

 at base of head. The antennas are more than twice the length 

 of head, whilst the joints three to six are distinctly claviform 

 and more elongated. 



The protho7'ax is larger, not depressed (/.<?. more strongly 

 convex), surface more finely reticulate and shining; the lateral 

 angle comes nearer the raid-line than the posterior third, and 

 in consequence of this, as well as of the less length and 

 greater breadth, the prothorax is more strongly narrowed to 

 base of head. There is a minute distinctive tooth at each of 

 these lateral angles which suggests the specific name denticoUis. 

 E. denticoUis is also larger than E. niagnicoUis, and the pro- 

 thorax is comparatively broader, being decidedly broader 

 than the pterothorax. 



Type — In British Museum. 



Hab. — Two specimens, Townsville, Queensland (14-7-02, 

 1902-319, F. P. Dodd). 



Genus DOCESSISSOPHOTHRIPS* nov. 



Head large, greatly swollen behind the eyes, both dorsally 

 and laterally. Eyes small, widely separated. OcelU com- 

 paratively large, not equidistant, the posterior pair being 



* Docessissopho- =conceited in his own eyes (in reference to the 

 peculiarly swollen head).
