Dimorphothrips microchaetus Bagnall, 1928b : 60-61. 

 Dimorphothrips solitus Bagnall, 1928b : 61-62. Syn. n. 



Bagnall regarded the unique holotype of microchaetus as a male, but the internal 

 rod of segment IX found in females of the Phlaeothripidae is clearly present. As 

 the two specimens on which microchaetus and solitus were based were apparently 

 taken together, it can be assumed that they are the female and male of the same 

 species.

DINOTHRIPS Bagnall 



Dinothrips Bagnall, 1908c : 190-191. Type-species D. sumatrensis, by monotypy.

Dinothrips sumatrensis Bagnall

 Dinothrips affinis Bagnall, 1915c : 270-271. Syn. n. 

 Dinothrips celebensis Bagnall, 1934b : 485-487. Syn. n. 



The material upon which affinis apparently was based is mounted on cards with 

 typical specimens of sumatrensis, as referred to by Bagnall in the original description, 

 although none of this material is named. However the collection data is identical 

 with that given in the original publication. In two specimens which have antennal 

 III only narrowly shaded at base and apex, the length of this segment varies from 

 375fx to 400[j.. In two specimens in which antennal III is more extensively shaded 

 the length varies from 350[x to 28ojx. These differences are here interpreted as 

 individual variation, and moreover the celebensis holotype is regarded as a small male 

 of sumatrensis. The type series of sumatrensis is not in the British Museum (Natural 

 History) and the published data were: ' Several examples of both sexes and in all 

 stages [not carded-p. 183], SUMATRA, Amsterdam Museum '.

As Stannard has indicated, this genus is very similar to Polyphemothrips Schmutz, 

 although it is possibly not monophyletic. The structure of the thoracic sternites is
