Anaphothrips tamicola (Bagnall) 



Euthrips tamicola Bagnall, 1914c : 273-274. 



This species is apparently common on its host plant, Tamits communis, in Western 

 Europe. The body is dark brown, with the tarsi, tibiae and antennals III and IV 

 yellow. The tenth abdominal segment of the pink larvae has a pair of horns 

 (modified setae) at the apex similar to those found in silvarum Priesner and the 

 species of Oxythrips. 



LECTOTYPE $. England : Oxford, Yarnton, in flowers of Tamus communis, 

 vi.1914 {R.S.B.). 



Anaphothrips vitalbae Bagnall 



Anaphothrips vitalbae Bagnall, 1926c : 644-645. 



The antennae of this species, with numerous rings of microtrichia, are very similar 

 to betae Uzel. Also the sculpture of the two species, particularly on the thorax, 

 shows some similarities. The genus Dictyothrips, defined by Uzel for the single 

 species betae, is regarded by the present author as a synonym of Anaphothrips. 



LECTOTYPE $. Italy : S. Vito (Modena), on Vitalba, 9.^.1917 (C. Minozzi). 



APTEROTHRIPS Bagnall 



Apterothrips Bagnall, 1908c : 185. Type-species A. subreticulata, by monotypy. 

 Apterothrips Bagnall ; Priesner, 1964 : 53. 



This genus is commonly regarded as a synonym of Anaphothrips, although 

 Bagnall compared the type-species to subapterus Haliday, which is now placed in 

 Tmetothrips. 



Apterothrips secticornis (Trybom) 



Thrips secticornis Trybom, 1896 : 620-622. 

 Apterothrips subreticulata Bagnall, 1908c : 185-186. 

 Apterothrips secticornis (Trybom) ; Priesner, 1964 : 53. 



This species is widespread on grasses, according to Priesner, in North Europe and 

 northern parts of America. The present author has seen specimens from the 

 Falkland Islands. 



LECTOTYPE O of subreticulata. Canada : Queen Charlotte Island, Masset, 

 B.M. 1900-102. 



APTINOTHRIPS Haliday 



Aptinothrips Haliday, 1836 : 445. Type-species Thrips rufa Gmelin, by monotypy. 

 Uzeliella Bagnall, 1908a : 5. Type-species U. lubbocki, by monotypy.
