BAGNALL'S THYSANOPTERA 9 



Originally described from a single female, this species is apparently common in 

 South Africa. The colour of antennal III, the relative lengths of antennals V, and 

 VI to IX, and the chaetotaxy of the head and pronotum are generally regarded as 

 being variable. The setae on the head and pronotum of the types of africamis are 

 particularly stout.

Originally described as differing from citricinctus and citricollis by the shorter 

 sensoria on antennals III and IV, and the greater length of segment IV relative to 

 III, this species is very close to citricinctus. They have been collected together in 

 Tangiers, and may yet prove to be synonymous. Antennal IV varies from as long 

 as III to about 077 of this length. The sensorium on III varies from 0-31 to 0-38 

 of the length of that segment in the seven females available.

 Aeolothrips citricinctus Bagnall ; Bagnall, 1934c : 483-485. 



The species citricollis was based on a single specimen and was distinguished from 

 citricinctus by the more slender body and antennae. However, in the holotype of 

 citricollis antennals III and IV are 5-5 and 4-0 times as long as broad, whereas in the 

 paratype female of citricinctus they are 6-i and 4-6 times as long as broad.
