BAGNALL'S THYSANOPTERA n 



Aeolothrips intermedins Bagnall 



Aeolothrips intermedins Bagnall, 1934(1 : 123-124. 



Although compared originally with anthyllidis, this species is very similar to 

 fasciatus (Linn.). Males of intermedins have no setae longer than the claspers on 

 the ninth abdominal segment, whereas the seta at the base of the claspers in fasciatus 

 exceeds the claspers in length. The species was described from England, France, 

 Italy and Switzerland. 



LECTOTYPE $. Switzerland : Zurich, Uteliberg, 2,500- ft., Medicago sativa, 

 vii.1925 (R.S.B.). 



Aeolothrips melaleucus Haliday 



Aeolothrips (Coleothrips) Melaleuca Haliday, in Walker, 1852 : 1117. 

 Aeolothrips uzeli Bagnall, 1934b : 482. Syn. n. 

 Aeolothrips melaleucus Haliday ; Priesner, 1964 : 19. 



Although compared initially with versicolor, the specimen on which uzeli was 

 based cannot be distinguished at present from melaleucus. 



Holotype $ of uzeli. Manchuria : Ourga Tsitsikhar {Chaffanjon, 174-95). 



Aeolothrips propinquus Bagnall 



Aeolothrips propinquus Bagnall, 1924J : 269. 



Aeolothrips fasciatus var. propinquus Bagnall ; Bagnall i<)26f : 280. 



Aeolothrips propinquus Bagnall ; Titschack, 1964 : 61-65. 



Titschack has given a detailed comparison of propinquus and astutus Priesner. 

 The species resembles tenuicornis in the dark ring vein at the fore wing apex, but 

 differs in the proximity of the accessory setae on sternite seven to the hind margin of 

 that segment, and the greater length of the sensoria on antennals III and IV. 

 Although three localities are given in the original publication only a single specimen, 

 labelled ' Type ', remains in the Bagnall collection. This bears the date vi.1924, 

 although the published date of collection was vii.1924. 



LECTOTYPE $. England : Surrey, Woldingham, on Verbascum nigrum, 

 vi.1924. 



Aeolothrips pyrenaicus Bagnall 



Aeolothrips pyrenaicus Bagnall, 1934c : 482-483. 



Although belonging to the fasciatus group, this species has the ring vein of the 

 fore wing dark as in tenuicornis. The male is unknown. 



LECTOTYPE $. France : l'Hospitalet, 5,500 ft., on Cistus, viii.1926 (R.S.B.).
