BAGNALL'S TH VSANOPTERA 37 



This species has been described by both Bagnall and Priesner, but the chaetotaxy 

 of the head is not referred to in full by either author. There are four pairs of post- 

 ocular setae, the first and third being twice as long as the second and fourth. There 

 are also four pairs of ocellar setae ; 1, in front of the first ocellus ; 2, lateral to the 

 first ocellus ; 3, within the ocellar triangle just behind the first ocellus ; 4, postero- 

 lateral to the hind ocelli. 



The specimen labelled ' type ' is very seriously damaged and only one paratype 

 female remains in Bagnall's collection. The data are as follows : 



FRANCE : nr. Perpignan, fl. Clematis vitalba, viii.1926 (R.S.B.). 



Frankliniella distinguenda Bagnall 



Frankliniella distinguenda Bagnall, 1919 : 264-265. 

 Frankliniella distinguenda Bagnall ; Moulton, 1048 : 66-67. 



Although Moulton did not examine the types, the notes given in his key to the 

 species of Frankliniella clearly refer to distinguenda. Bagnall compared this species 

 to melanommata Williams but antennal III of distinguenda does not have a shelf-like 

 thickening around the pedicel. The interocellar setae arise within the ocellar 

 triangle (position 2), and the teeth of the eighth tergal comb are slender and widely 

 spaced. Moulton records the species from Argentina and there is material in the 

 British Museum (Natural History) from a composite shrub, Espirito Santo, Brazil, 

 12.X.1928.

Frankliniella fulvipes Bagnall 



Frankliniella fulvipes Bagnall, 1919 : 265-266. 

 Frankliniella fulvipes Bagnall ; Moulton, 1948 : 82. 



Moulton states that the eighth tergal comb in this species is weak and irregular. 

 This is true in the type specimens, but in some females from Brazil apparently of this 

 species the teeth of the comb are finely pointed with broad triangular bases. The 

 tibiae and tarsi, and antennals III to V are yellow, although the hind tibiae are 

 sometimes shaded brown medially.

Frankliniella gemina Bagnall 



Frankliniella gemina Bagnall, 1919 : 265. 

 Frankliniella gemina Bagnall ; Moulton, 1948 : 67. 



This species is very closely related to F. distinguenda, with which it was originally 

 collected. The species apparently differ in the length of the major setae, but the 

 type specimens of gemina are all damaged and poorly mounted. The antero-angular 

 seta on the pronotum of distinguenda is almost twice as long as the anteromarginal 

 seta. In gemina these two setae are nearly equal in length.
