BAGNALL'S THYSANOPTERA 57 



Taeniothrips gentianae (Bagnall) 



Physothrips gentianae Bagnall, 1033c : 653-655. 



Priesner (1964 : 73) gives this species as a form of trybomi Karny. I am not 

 familiar with the latter species and cannot at present distinguish gentianae from 

 vulgatissimus Haliday. 



Syntypes $. Italy : Dolomites, Lago di Misurina, 6,000 ft., Gentiana asclepiadea, 

 ix.1929 {R.S.B.). 



Taeniothrips gowdeyi (Bagnall) 



Ceratolhrips gowdeyi Bagnall, k»i<) : 254 255. 

 Taeniothrips debilis Hood, 1025 : 136-137. Syn. n. 

 Physothrips neavei Karny, [925a : 120. Syn. n. 

 Physothrips gowdeyi Bagnall, [926c : 105-106. 



Bagnall described both of the forms he called gowdeyi from the same series o\ 

 specimens. The species was first described from a single female with aberrant 

 antennae. One of Hood's five original specimens from Nigeria has been examined 

 by the present author as well as the unique holotype of neavei. 



Holotype $. Uganda : Kampala, flower of Tree Tomato [Solanum), n.xi.1917 



(C. C. Gowdey). 



Holotype 9 0I neavei. Uganda : Kampala, flower of ip&mea hildebrantei, 

 26.xii.1920 (H. Hargreaves). 



Taeniothrips hispanicus (Bagnall) 



Physothrips hispanicus Bagnall, [921a : 63-64. 

 Taeniothrips hispanicus Bagnall ; Priesner, 1064 : 78. 



This species is represented in Bagnall 's collection by a single blackened slide of a 

 male. No details are visible and most of the specimen has decomposed. The data 

 are as follows: Spain : Arnes (Tarragona), 28.viii.1913 (Navds). Morison (1949 : 

 116) indicates that this is a synonym of frici Uzel. 



Taeniothrips immsi (Bagnall) 



Physothrips immsi Bagnall, 1026c : 106-107. 

 Thrips immsi Bagnall, 1926c : no. 



The two nominal species called immsi were distinguished by the possession of 

 seven- or eight-segmented antennae. Ocellar setae III are on the anterior margins 

 of the ocellar triangle and the abdominal pleurotergites bear accessory setae, although 

 these are absent from the sternites.
