Taeniothrips flavidulus (Bagnall) 



Physothrips flavidulus Bagnall, 1923c : 628. 



This species is close to Thrips flavidus in having ocellar setae III just within the 

 ocellar triangle. In flavidulus, however, the pronotal discal setae are darker and, as 

 Bagnall indicated, the antennae longer. The males described by Bagnall belong in 

 the albipes group.

 Physothrips brevicornis Bagnall, 1916a : 220. 



T. frici lives in the yellow flowers of various Compositae and has been collected in 

 both Victoria and New South Wales on Hypochoeris, Helianthus and Taraxacum. 

 The present author has also seen specimens from North West Pakistan. Ocellar 

 setae III lie on the anterior margins of the ocellar triangle and the eighth tergal comb 

 is absent in the males.

Physothrips funtumiae Bagnall, igi3f : 292-293. 

 Physothrips funtumiae Bagnall ; Bagnall, 1918c : 68-69.

 instead of only two.
