Thrips poultoni Bagnall 

 Thrips poultoni Bagnall, 1933c : 656-657. 



Holotype $. Canary Islands : Las Palmas, 28.vi.1914 (E. B. Poidton). 



Thrips pusillus Bagnall 



Thrips pusillus Bagnall, 1926c : 112-113. 



Thrips meliaefloris Hood, 1932 : 138-140. Syn. n. 



A paratype of meliaefloris has been compared with females of pusillus collected in 

 Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria and Kenya. The colour of the body is here considered 

 to be rather variable, but the apex of the abdomen is commonly darker than the base. 



LECTOTYPE $. Ghana : Aburi, Strophanthus grains flowers, g.xi.1915 [W. H. 

 Patterson). 



Thrips robust us Priesner 



Thrips robustus Priesner, 1920 : 76. 



Thrips robustus var. pyrenaica Bagnall, 1926c : 653. 



Thrips robustus Priesner ; Priesner, 1964 : 95. 



The variety pyrenaica, proposed for some material collected in the Pyrenees in 

 France and Andorra, is regarded by Priesner as a form of robustus. No specimens 

 bearing the variety name are present in Bagnall's Collection. 



Thrips t abaci Lindemann 



Thrips tabaci Lindemann, 1888 : 61-75. 



Thrips hololeucus Bagnall, 1914b : 24-25. Syn. n. 



Thrips adamsoni Bagnall, 1923b : 58-59. 



Thrips debilis Bagnall, 1923b : 60. 



Thrips franheniae Bagnall, i926e : 654. 



Thrips dorsalis Bagnall, 1927b : 576-577. 



Thrips tabaci Lindemann ; Mound, 1967a : 19. 



Thrips tabaci is variable in both colour and size but it can be distinguished by the 

 possession of four setae on the distal half of the fore vein of the fore wing, and by the 

 absence of the pori found in most other Thrips species anterolateral to the median 

 setae of the ninth tergite. The second instar larva is remarkable in that it has no 

 spiracles on abdominal segment two. 



LECTOTYPE $ of hololeucus. Japan : Kobe, vii.1913 (/. E. A. Lewis). 



LECTOTYPE 9 of adamsoni. England : Durham, Brockwell, Menyanthes 

 trifoliata (R. Adamson). 



Holotype $ of debilis. England : Isle of Wight, near Blackgang Chine, on heath. 



LECTOTYPE $ of frankeniae. France : Perpignan, Frankenia, viii.1926 

 {R.S.B.). 



Syntypes $ of dorsalis. England : Surrey, Woldingham, Verbascum nigrum,
