 Physothrips inaequalis Bagnall, 1928c : 98-99. 

 Thrips major Uzel ; Mound, 1966b : 56.

 has been re-examined recently and found to be an abnormal specimen of major Uzel.

Thrips menyanthidis Bagnall 



Thrips menyanthidis Bagnall, 1923b : 58. 



Thrips menyanthidis Bagnall ; Mound, 1967a : 20. 



In the opinion of the present author, this species is a synonym of fuscipennis 

 Haliday, from which it can be separated only by reason of its larger size. G. D. 

 Morison, however, has studied the thrips on Menyanthes in the field for several years, 

 and considers that they are specifically distinct. Thrips paluster Reuter can be 

 distinguished by the complete comb on tergite eight and details of the metanotum. 



LECTOTYPE $. England : Westmorland, Patterdale, Menyanthes trifoliata. 



Thrips origani Priesner 



Thrips origani Priesner, 1926b : 272.

There are only two or three accessory setae on sternites IV to VI in this species. 

 The specimens of dyssochaetus labelled ' cotype ' come from Origanum at Box Hill, 

 Surrey, England. This is the material referred to by Bagnall in 1928. The species 

 dyssochaetus was described from females collected in France : Ax-les-Thermes, 

 Origanum vulgare, viii.1926, but this material is not in Bagnall's Collection. 



Thrips pallidulus Bagnall 



Thrips pallidulus Bagnall, 1924b : 424-425. 



This species can be distinguished from both flavidulus and flavidus by the large 

 equiangular reticulations on the median part of the metanotum. 



LECTOTYPE $. [India: Bengal, Pusa (Lefroy)].
