The holotype of championi is a female, not a male as originally stated, the internal 

 rod in abdominal segment IX is visible, the fore tarsal claw is short and broad, and 

 the postocular setae are long. The holotype of grandis is here regarded as a major 

 male of foveicollis.

Elaphrothrips greeni (Bagnall) 

 (Text-fig. 39) 



Dicaiothrips greeni Bagnall, 1914c (March) : 289-290. 

 Dicaiothrips bouvieri Vuillet, 1914 (April) : 276-277. Syn. n. 



The above synonymy is based on a comparison of the type and paratype of bouvieri 

 with a third specimen from the same locality and the remains of the holotype of 

 greeni. The basal stems of antennals IV and V apparently vary in colour from 

 brownish yellow to pale brown (cf. Priesner 1934 : 195), and as in many other 

 species, the sickle-shaped seta on the fore femur varies in degree of development. 

 The fore tarsal tooth is long and slender, arising basally, and the hind tibia is yellowish 

 in the distal half.
