BAGNALL'S THYSANOPTERA 65 



Thrips griseus Bagnall 



Thrips griseus Bagnall, 1916b : 403. 



There are eight or nine accessory setae on each sternite in this species, and these 

 setae are barely half the length of the sternites. 



LECTOTYPE $. Japan : Kobe, vi.1915 (/. E. A. Lewis). 



Thrips herricki Bagnall 

 Thrips herricki Bagnall, ig26d : 545-548. 



This large species, although based on North American material, is probably 

 native to the mountains of Europe. 



LECTOTYPE $. U.S.A. : New York, Ithaca, Veratrum viride, 27.vi.1924 

 {G. W. Herrick). 



Thrips imaginis Bagnall 



Thrips fortis Bagnall, 1926c : 109-110. Syn. n. 



Thrips imaginis Bagnall, 1926c : in. 



'Thrips imaginis var. apicalis Bagnall, 1926c : III. 



Although fortis has page priority over imaginis, the latter name is so well estab- 

 lished in Australian economic literature that the present author feels justified in 

 accepting Recommendation 24A of the International Commission on Zoological 

 Nomenclature (1961 : 25). The species fortis was based on a single, squashed, 

 contracted female. The two females of imaginis labelled ' Types ' do not bear any 

 other data apart from a small label ' Reg. 41 '. In the original description several 

 host plants and dates were mentioned from Victoria and South Australia.

Thrips juniperina Linnaeus 



Physapus fuscus, alis albicantibus De Geer, 1744 : 3-6. 



Thrips juniperina Linnaeus, 1758 : 457. 



Thrips juniperina Linnaeus ; Bagnall, igogf : 39-41. 



Thrips junipericola Morison, 1948 : 66. 



Thrips juniperina Linneaus ; Mound, 1967a : 21. 



Linnaeus describes this species merely as ' T. elytris niveis, corpore fusco ', 

 ' Habitat in Juniperis ', but he gives the earlier reference to De Geer quoted above. 

 De Geer (1744 : 3-6) describes and figures (tab. I ; figs. 1-2) a typical member of 

 Thrips genus which he finds throughout the year on the buds and in galls of Juniper 

 bushes. Unfortunately Linnaeus, when naming juniperina and physapus, gives the 

 two page references to De Geer the wrong way round. Contrary to the statement by 

 Morison, there is nothing in the original description of the Juniper Thrips by De 

 Geer, subsequently named juniperina by Linnaeus, to suggest that this is not the 

 common species found on that plant in Northern Scotland.
