Odontothrips meridionalis Priesner 



Odontothrips ulicis var. meridionalis Priesner, 1919a : 122. 

 Odontothrips ignobilis Bagnall, 1919 : 262-263. Syn. n. 

 Odontothrips mutabilis Bagnall, 1924J : 271-272. Syn. n. 

 Odontothrips inermis Bagnall, 1928c : 95-96. Syn. n. 

 Odontothrips meridionalis Priesner ; Priesner, 1964 : 67. 



Bagnall's species ignobilis and mutabilis have both been regarded as synonyms of 

 meridionalis by various authors, although Priesner (1964) re-established both names. 

 The base of the wing in ignobilis is pale, although the costa is dark, but this is not 

 uncommon in meridionalis. The colour of antennal IV does not differ in the syn- 

 types of mutabilis from typical meridionalis. In a footnote to the description of 

 inermis, Bagnall indicated the possibility that this species represented the male of 

 mutabilis. The chaetotaxy of the ninth abdominal tergite in the holotype is typical 

 of meridionalis and the fore tarsus bears a small tooth.

Odontothrips morgani Bagnall 



Euthrips phalerata of Morgan, 1913 : 1-3 nee Haliday, 1836 : 447. 

 Odontothrips morgani Bagnall, 1929a : 49. 



The name morgani was proposed for the species referred to by Morgan as phalarata 

 Haliday, and described by him from two females from Plantago virginica, Quincy, 

 Florida. The species differs from phalaratus Haliday in having a complete row of 

 setae on the first vein, but as far as the present author is aware, Bagnall never 

 examined any Odontothrips specimens from Florida. 



Odontothrips ononidis Bagnall 



Odontothrips ononidis Bagnall, 1934c : 490-491. 



This species is known only from females. These, although described as being 

 related to confusus Priesner, cannot be distinguished at present from karnyi 

 Priesner, 1924a, or large specimens of meridionalis Priesner, 1919.
