All that remains of the unique specimen upon which this species was described is 

 the tube mounted on a slide. The rest of the specimen is apparently lost as it was 

 not returned to Copenhagen, the published depository. The original locality was 

 Venezuela : Caracas (Meinert).

Cryptothrips fasciapennis Franklin, 1908 : 727-729. 

 Cephalothrips spinosus Bagnall, igogd : 174-175. 



Franklin's description was based on a unique female and Bagnall's on a unique 

 male. The species is apparently pan-tropical and is unusual amongst the Tubulifera 

 in having banded wings. The males have a stout spur on the internal margin of the 

 fore femora, and a comb of four or more setae medially on sternite five.

ANACTINOTHRIPS Bagnall 



AnactinotJirips Bagnall, 1909k : 329-330. Type-species A. meinerti, by monotypy. 

 Anactinothrips Bagnall ; Stannard, 1957 : 93- 



As indicated by Stannard this genus is close to Elaphrothrips. The praepectus is 

 present and the mesopraesternum very broad. In the three species described by 

 Bagnall there is only a single pair of wing retaining setae on each tergite. The 

 antennal sense cones are much shorter than the antennal setae, there are two sense 

 cones on III and four on IV.
