Dolicholepta jeanneli (Bagnall) comb. n.

 Dolichothrips karnyi Faure, 1925 : 153-158. Syn. n. 



D. karnyi has been reported to differ from jeanneli in having longer setae on tergite 

 IX. From a study of material collected in Kenya it is apparent that this species 

 varies considerably in overall size, and the median setae on tergite IX may be rather 

 shorter or rather longer than the tube. The species is known from Kenya, Uganda, 

 Tanganyika and Transvaal.

Dolichothrips {Dolicholepta) micrurus (Bagnall) Priesner, 1965 : 417-420. 



The original description refers to a unique female but there are two specimens in 

 the Bagnall Collection bearing the original data. The species is known from Egypt, 

 Sudan and Seychelles Islands, although the latter record is based on a fragmentary 

 specimen.

Dolicholepta nigripes (Bagnall) comb. n. 



Dolichothrips nigripes Bagnall, 1936 : 223. 



Although the unique holotype is in a very bad condition it is clearly more closely 

 related to micrurus from the Nile valley than to the East African jeanneli. The 

 other species described from near Addis Ababa in Ethiopia, scotti Morison, is however 

 close to jeanneli.
