TRYPHACTOTHRIPS Bagnall 



Tryphactothvips Bagnall, 1919 : 256. Type-species Dinurothrips rutherfordi, by original 



designation. 



Tryphactothvips Bagnall ; Bagnall, 1921b : 264. 



Tryphactothvips Bagnall ; Stannard & Mitri, 1962 : 214-215. 



As a result of the revision by Stannard and Mitri, Tryphactothrips is now regarded 

 as a monotypic genus. 



Tryphactothrips rutherfordi (Bagnall) 



Dinurothrips rutherfordi Bagnall, 1915a : 319-320. 



Tryphactothrips rutherfordi (Bagnall) ; Stannard and Mitri, 1962 : 215. 



This species is known only from the original material and the antennae have yet 

 to be described. 



Holotype $. Ceylon : Peradeniya, Allamanda leaves, 27.iii.1914 [A. Rutherford). 



PHLAEOTHRIPIDAE 



Abiastothrips schaubergeri (Priesner) 



Trichothrips schaubergeri Priesner, 1920 : 86-87. 

 Cratothrips priesneri Bagnall, 1933c : 658-659. 

 Abiastothrips schaubergeri (Priesner) ; Priesner, 1964 : 141. 



This species is very similar to Polyphemothrips species, but the monotypic genus 

 Abiastothrips is retained by Stannard (1957 : 78) on account of the small size of the 

 maxillary palps.

 {R.S.B.). 



Acaciothrips ebneri (Karny) 



Gynaikothrips ebneri Karny, 1920a : 28—29. 

 Gynaikothrips obscuripes Bagnall, 1921c : 362-364. 

 Acaciothrips ebneri (Karny) ; Priesner, 1965 : 386-389. 



Priesner has removed this species from Gynaikothrips on account of the short head 

 and tube and the absence of accessory cilia on the fore wing. The insect causes 

 terminal leaf galls on Acacia species very commonly along the Nile valley in Egypt 

 and Sudan, and the present author has examined specimens from Ibadan, Nigeria.

ACALLUROTHRIPS Bagnall 



Acallurothrips Bagnall, 1921b : 269. Type-species A. macrurus, by original designation. 



Bagnall erected this genus for two species, each based on a badly damaged unique. 

 It is not possible to redefine the genus from these specimens although it may be
