Anaphothrips cameroni (Bagnall) 



Euthrips cameroni Bagnall, 1919 : 271-272. 



As indicated in the original description, this species is close to obscurus (Mull.), 

 from which it differs in the darker colour and the long, even comb on tergite eight. 

 The male has similar appendages to obscurus on tergite nine. 



Holotype $. Canada : Saskatchewan, Semans, in injured wheat stems, 

 4.viii.i9i7 {A. E. Cameron). 



Anaphothrips gracillimus Priesner 



(Text-figs. 4 & 5) 



Anaphothrips gracillimus Priesner, 1923b : 82-83. 

 Anaphothrips debilis Bagnall, 1927a : 568-569. Syn. n. 

 Anaphothrips johni Bagnall, 1933c : 653. Syn. n. 



A. debilis was distinguished from gracillimus by its small size and the darker 

 colour of antennal II, and A. johni was stated to be intermediate between these two 

 species. Both debilis and johni are here regarded as small forms of gracillimus, 

 since they do not differ from that species in the form of cuticular sculpture, nor the 

 arrangement of setae. The trichomes of antennal III may be simple, forked, or 

 partially forked with the forks unequally developed (Text-figs. 4 & 5). 



LECTOTYPE o (microptera) of debilis. France : L'Almanarre, nr. Hyeres, on 

 Juncus at edge of salt marsh, ii.1927 (R.S.B.). 



LECTOTYPE $ (microptera) of johni. France : nr. Plage d'Hyeres, on Grass, 

 edge of the Salins, ix.1927 (R.S.B.). 



Anaphothrips obscurus (Muller) 



Thrips obscura Muller, 1776 : 96. 



Anaphothrips obscurus (Muller) ; Priesner, 1926 : 183-187. 



Anaphothrips discrepans Bagnall, 1933c : 651-652. 



Bagnall described discrepans as a ' small and slender edition of obscurus ' and it 

 does not appear to differ from that species in any fundamental way. 



LECTOTYPE $ of discrepans. France : Arcachon, Mouth of the Teste, on 

 Juncus, viii.1926 (R.S.B.). 



Anaphothrips orchidaceus Bagnall 



Anaphothrips orchidaceus Bagnall, 1909a : 33-34. 



Anaphothrips orchidaceus ssp. orchidaceus Bagnall ; Sakimura, 1967 : 89-94. 



This is a very distinctive species with long brown antennae, found occasionally as 

 a pest in greenhouses. 



Lectotype $. England : Northumberland, Wylam-on-Tyne, on Odonto- 

 glossum crispum, viii.1907 (R.S.B.).
