 (Ramakrishna). 



DENDROTHRIPOIDES Bagnall 



Dendrothripoides Bagnall, 1923c : 624-625. Type-species D. ipomeae, by monotypy. 



The abdominal tergites of the species included in this genus bear laterally 

 numerous, very stout microtrichia. The setae on the ninth abdominal tergite are 

 very long and stout, rather flattened apically. In the structure and reduction of 

 the wing setae the genus resembles Asprothrips. 



Dendrothripoides ipomeae Bagnall 



Dendrothripoides ipomeae Bagnall, 1923c : 625. 

 Dendrothripoides ipomeae Bagnall ; Fame, [94] : 107-110. 



In describing a second species in this genus, venustus, Faure gave a number of 

 additional details concerning the structure of ipomeae. The species is represented 

 in the British Museum (Natural History) by the type series, and also females and 

 larvae from Bermuda.

DENDROTHRIPS Uzel 



Dendrothrips Uzel, 1895 : 159-160. Type-species D. tiliae Uzel, a synonym of D. ornatus 



Jablonowsky, 1894, designated by Priesner, 1925. 

 Dendrothripiella Bagnall, 1927a : 567. Type-species D. phyllireae, by monotypy. 

 Dendrothrips Uzel ; Faure, 1960a : 16. 



Bagnall described Dendrothripiella ' As in Dendrothrips, but with the antenna 7- 

 jointed '. Faure has shown that the divisions of the apical antennal segments in this 

 group are variable, and the genus is now used for species with antennae seven- to 

 nine-segmented. 



Dendrothrips decoris (Bagnall) 



Dendrothripiella decoris Bagnall, 1927b : 568-570. 

 Dendrothrips decoris (Bagnall) ; Faure, 1960a : 16. 



This species is distinctively coloured, having antennals III, IV and V, and also the 

 abdomen yellow, with the head, thorax and wings dark. The antennae are seven- 

 or eight-segmented.
