LECTOTYPE DESIGNATIONS 



Only in a few of his descriptions of new species did Bagnall designate a specific 

 individual as a ' holotype ' or ' type ', and in most of these cases the designation 

 consists of the statement ' type in Coll. Bagnall '. Where a species was described on 

 a unique the holotype status of the specimen is not in question, but where there was 

 a series Bagnall wrote ' Type ' on two specimens, a male and a female. For this 

 reason, and because the published place of deposition is frequently incorrect, the 

 present author has in many instances selected lectotypes during the course of this 

 work. Such lectotype selection is indicated as LECTOTYPE, and except where 

 indicated to the contrary the specimens listed under each species are now in the 

 general collection of Thysanoptera in the British Museum (Natural History). 

 Lectotypes have been selected from those specimens originally labelled as ' Type ', 

 except where otherwise indicated in the text, after comparing the specimens and 

 their data with the original publication. Where several individuals are mounted 

 together on a slide, however, it was considered desirable to refer to these as syntypes. 



SPECIES ASCRIBED TO BAGNALL IN ERROR 



Bagnall frequently wrote a new name and the indication ' Type ' on specimens in 

 his collection, but many such names were never published. However, the names 

 were made available to other writers and have in the following cases been published, 

 giving Bagnall as the author. 

 Dendrothrips cameroni Priesner, 1965 : 281-283. Although ascribed to Bagnall by 



Priesner when he described this species no specimens bearing this name have been 



found in Bagnall's collection. 

 Eurhynchothrips castor and E. pollux, nomina nuda in Kelly and Mayne, 1934 : 52. 

 Frankliniella kellyana Kelly & Mayne, 1934 : 20, a synonym of F. schultzei (Tryb.), 



q.v. 

 Gamothrips connaticornis Priesner, 1965 : 214, a synonym of Astrothrips roboris, q.v. 

 Oedemothrips anstralis and 0. nigricans, nomina nuda in Kelly & Mayne, 1934 : 51. 

 Sericothrips bedfordi Priesner, 1965 : 243-244, a synonym of S. occipitalis Hood, 



1917 : 32-34. Syn. n. Hood described this species from Nigeria and the present 



author has studied material from Nigeria, Sudan, Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania and 



Transvaal. 

 Tetrachaetothrips, nomen nudum in Priesner, 1949 : 150, a synonym of Gynaiko- 



thrips.
