Bactridothrips serraticornis Bagnall 



Bactridothrips serraticornis Bagnall, 1921c! : 397. 



Bactridothrips serraticornis Bagnall ; Ananthakrishnan, 1964 : 85. 



It is possible that serraticornis may eventually be shown to be synonymous with 

 idolomorphus Karny from Perak. 



Holotype^. Ceylon : Pundaluoya (E. E. Green). 



BACTROTHRIPS Karny 



Bactrothrips Karny, 1912c : 131. Type-species B. longiventris, by monotypy. 

 Krinothrips Bagnall, 1918a : 220. Type-species K. divergens, by monotypy. 

 Bactrothrips Karny ; Priesner, 1952 : 866-876. 



This genus differs from Bactridothrips, Ccrvothrips and Eidothrips in having the 

 spiracles on abdominal segment VIII of the males much enlarged and elongate 

 dorsoventrally. The lateral tubercles on segment VII are larger than those on VI 1 1 . 



Bactrothrips divergens (Bagnall) 



Krinothrips divergens Bagnall, 1018a : 220-221. 

 Bactrothrips divergens (Bagnall) ; Priesner, 1952 : 873-875. 

 Actinothrips ritchianns Bagnall, 1932c : 517-518. Syn. n. 



There are two pairs of major epimeral setae in this species, and the hind tibiae are 

 yellow in the apical half compared to the almost completely brown fore and mid 

 tibiae. 



Syntypes^ and $$. Ghana : Aburi, Adawsi Rd., 27.L1914 {W. H. Patterson). 



Holotype $ of ritchianus. Tanganyika : Maraka, on tobacco, ix.1926 {A. H. 



Ritchie) . 



Bagnalliola terminalis (Bagnall) 



Brachythrips terminalis Bagnall, 1927a : 571-573. 

 Bagnalliola terminalis (Bagnall) ; Priesner, 1964 : 187. 



The unique holotype of this species can be recognized as a male on account of the 

 short stout B 2 setae on abdominal segment IX. 



Holotype ^. France : Tamaris, Erica arborea, i.iii.1927 (R.S.B.). 



Caudothrips buffai Karny 



Caudothrips buffai Karny, 1921 : 230. 



Megathrips lesnei Bagnall, 1933c : 659-661. Syn. n. 



The unique holotype of lesnei is here interpreted as a small form of buffai which is 

 known from Italy and Southern France on Quercus ilex. The monotypic genus 

 Caudothrips is distinguished from Megathrips in Europe by the very long tube. The
