Gigantothrips vuilleti Bagnall 



Gigantothrips vuilleti Bagnall, 1934b : 492-493. 



Although similar to marshalli in its sculpture, vuilleti is quite distinctive in having 

 long, slender, rather pale setae on tergite IX. The species is not in the Paris 

 Museum collection but there are three females and three males labelled as paratypes 

 in the British Museum. 



Paratypes <$£ and $$. Mali Republic : Koulikoro, on Ficus gnaphalocarpa, 

 iii.1913 (J. Vuillet). 



Gynaikothrips australis Bagnall 



Gynaikothrips australis Bagnall, 1929I1 : 187-188. 



There are two pairs of postocular setae in this species, stout and dark with flattened 

 apices. The epimeral and postero-angular pronotal setae are hyaline and almost as 

 long as the pronotum. 



Syntypes <$ & $. Australia : New South Wales, Gosford, curling leaves of 

 Ficus macrophylla, 13. vi. 1902 (W. W. Froggatt). 



Gynaikothrips hopkinsi Bagnall 



Gynaikothrips hopkinsi Bagnall, 1928b : 66-67. 



LECTOTYPE <$. Samoa : Upolu Is., Apia, on Ficus leaves, 25. v. 1925 {Buxton 

 & Hopkins). 



Gynaikothrips hystrix Bagnall 



Gynaikothrips hystrix Bagnall, 1928b : 64—66. 



This species is very close to hopkinsi. They both have two pairs of very long 

 acute postocular setae, but hystrix is distinguished by the presence of two pairs of 

 subequal epimeral setae and the long postocellars which reach to antennal II. 



LECTOTYPE <$. Tonga : Nukualop, on Ficus leaves, 20.ii.1925 (Buxton & 

 Hopkins). 



Gynaikothrips karnyi Bagnall 



Gynaikothrips karnyi Bagnall, 1914b : 28-29. 



Gynaikothrips karnyi Bagnall ; Ananthakrishnan, 1964 : 46. 



Holotype $. Ceylon : Peradeniya, marginal leaf galls of Piper nigrum, 21/vii.
