Dolichothrips fumipennis (Bagnall) comb. n. 



Xeoheegeria fumipennis Bagnall, 1921c : 360. 



This species, known only from the unique holotype, is very similar to zyziphi, from 

 which it can be distinguished by the longer setae on the posterior margin of the 

 pronotum. 



Holotype $. India : Kurseong, East Himalayas, 4,700 ft., 26.iii.1910 (F. 



Gravely). 



Dolichothrips varipes Bagnall 



Dolichothrips varipes Bagnall, 1921c : 359. 



This species is in many ways intermediate between the two genera Dolichothrips 

 and Dolicholepta. Although the inotanotal reticulations are rather narrow, the 

 sculpture is distinct from the close striations found on the metanotum of Dolicholepta. 

 Antennal segments IV, V and VI arc only weakly extended on the inner apical 

 margin in varipes and there are five or more accessory cilia on the fore wing. This 

 species is known from India, Egypt and Sudan, and the present author has also 

 examined a specimen from Ethiopia. 



Syntypes $. India : [? Coimbatore] (Rainakrishna). 



Dolichothrips zyziphi (Bagnall) comb. n. 

 Neoheegeria zyziphi Bagnall, 1923c : 629. 



Three females and two males bearing no data other than the name and registration 

 number 186 remain in the Bagnall Collection. The original description refers only 

 to ' several examples '. 



LECTOTYPE <J. [India : Paresnoth, W. Bengal, at 4,400 ft., on Zyzipluts 

 rugosus, 10. iv. 1909.] Reg. 186. 



ECACANTHOTHRIPS Bagnall 

 Ecacanthothrips Bagnall, 1909c : 348. Type-species Acanthothrips sanguineus, by monotypy. 



Ecacanthothrips sanguineus (Bagnall) 



Acanthothrips sanguineus Bagnall, 1908b : 362. 



Ecacanthothrips bryanti Bagnall, 1915a : 320-321. 



Ecacanthothrips coxalis Bagnall, 1915b : 597. 



Ecacanthothrips coxalis var. consanguineus Priesner, 1930 : 367-368. Syn. n. 



Ecacanthothrips flavipes Bagnall, 1915b : 597. 



Ecacanthothrips sanguineus Bagnall ; Ananthakrishnan, 1961 : 275-280. 



The unique holotype of sanguineus is a female and not a male as originally stated, 

 and the figures of the fore tibiae of bryanti and sanguineus are inaccurate in that the 

 original specimens have tibial tubercles. In addition to the characters studied by
