Caliothrips indicus (Bagnall) 



Heliothrips indicus Bagnall, 19131 : 291-292. 

 Caliothrips indicus (Bagnall) ; Faure, 1962 : 12. 



In this species the distal extremity of antennal V is barely lighter than the base 

 of VI, whereas in the closely related African graminicola antennal V is much lighter 

 than VI. 



LECTOTYPE $. India : Bengal, Sirsiah, on Indigo, 1908 (Lefroy). 



Caliothrips sudanensis (Bagnall & Cameron) 



Hercothrips sudanensis Bagnall & Cameron, 19320! : 415-417. 

 Caliothrips sudanensis (Bagnall & Cameron) ; Faure, 1962 : 11. 



The distribution and biology of this species in East Africa is apparently similar to 

 impurus, however, sudanensis has not been recorded from West Africa. 



Syntypes $$ $<$. Sudan : Khartoum, Wellcome Trust Research Laboratories, 

 on Cotton, i.ii.1927 (W. P. L. Cameron). 



Cestrothrips karnyi (Bagnall) 



Rhamphothrips karnyi Bagnall, 1927b : 572-573. 

 Cestrothrips karnyi (Bagnall) ; Priesner, 1964 : 83-84. 



The two females and single male available are too opaque to attempt a redescrip- 

 tion of this unusual species. The prothorax, which is wider at the posterior than the 

 anterior, recalls Mycterothrips, as does the small head and long mouth cone. Con- 

 trary to the descriptions the eighth tergal comb is well developed, long and fine as 

 in Mycterothrips and the metathoracic furca appears to have a spinula. However, 

 there are no traces of any microtrichia on the tergites which are so typical of Myctero- 

 thrips. The nine-segmented antennae and the absence of major pronotal setae may 

 indicate some relationship with Anaphothrips. 



LECTOTYPE $. France : lies d'Hyeres, Porquerolles, Erica arborea, ix.1927 

 {R.S.B.). 



Chaetanaphothrips signipennis (Bagnall) 



Scirtothrips signipennis Bagnall, 1914b : 22-23. 

 Chaetanaphothrips signipennis (Bagnall) ; Stannard, 1956b : 175. 



As Stannard has pointed out, this species differs from orchidii in having a pair of 

 setae anterolateral to the first ocellus, a glandular area on the third sternite of the 

 female, and the fifth seta from the mid-line on the hind margin of the pronotum less 

 than half as long as the third. 



Holotype $. Ceylon : Peradeniya, under leaf-sheath of banana, 16.vi.1913 

 (^4. Rutherford).
