Elaphrothrips crassiceps (Bagnall) 

 (Text-fig. 30) 



Dicaiothrips crassiceps Bagnall, iQ2id : 399. 

 Elaphrothrips crassiceps (Bagnall) ; Priesner, 1934 : 197. 



Apart from the short broad head, this species may also be recognized by the fact 

 that the lateral lobes of the pelta are quite separate from the large median plate. 



Holotype $. Burma : Myawadli, 900 ft., 24-26.xi.19n (F.H. Gravely). 



Elaphrothrips denticollis (Bagnall) 



Dicaiothrips denticollis Bagnall, 1909J : 527. 



This species is known from a single female, but comparison with the description of 

 mucronatus Priesner, 1935 : 167-168 suggests thai these two forms may eventually 

 be shown to be identical. 



Holotype $. Indonesia : Isle of Nias (K. Jordan). 



Elaphrothrips distatis Bagnall 



Elaphrothrips distans Bagnall, 1935a : [32 134. 

 Elaphrothrips distans Bagnall ; Priesner, 1952 : 859. 



Holotype $. Tanganyika : Morogoro, iii.1925 (.-1. H. Ritchie). 



Elaphrothrips femoralis (Bagnall) 



Klinothrips femoralis Bagnall, 1918a : 218-219. 



Elaphrothrips (Klinothrips) femoralis (Bagnall) Priesner, 1952 : 846-849. 



The specimen on which this species was described (in spirit) has not been located 

 in the British Museum (Natural History). The published data were; Ghana : Aburi, 

 Cacao leaves, 12.ix.1915 (W. H. Patterson). Priesner has redescribed the species 

 from two males from the Ivory Coast and one of these is deposited in the Paris 

 Museum. The basal wing setae of this specimen are dark as in gaboniensis. 



Elaphrothrips foveicollis (Bagnall) 

 (Text-fig. 33) 



I dolothrips foveicollis Bagnall, 1908c : 214-215. 

 Dicaiothrips championi Bagnall, 1910a : 375. Syn. n. 

 Dicaiothrips grandis Bagnall, 1910a : 373-374. Syn. n. 



This species belongs in the laevicollis group in which the anterior reticles of the 

 pelta are distinguished from those at the posterior by their thicker margins, and the 

 postocular setae of the males are negatively heterogonous (see Hood, 1955 : 54).
