BAGNALL'S THYSANOPTERA 113 



Haplothrips nigricans Bagnall 



Haplothrips nigricans Bagnall, 19346 : 499-500. 

 Haplothrips nigricans Bagnall ; Priesner, 1964 : 157. 



The unique holotype female is not in either the Paris Museum or the British 

 Museum (Natural History). The original collection data were ; France : Beaune, 

 Sambucus ebulus, i.vii.1913 (A. Paillet). 



Haplothrips nigricornis (Bagnall) 



Androthrips nigricornis Bagnall, 1910b : 425-426. 

 Haplothrips itnicolor Bagnall, 1919 : 274-275. 

 Haplothrips nigricornis (Bagnall) ; Faure, 1955 : 208-218. 



According to Faure this species differs from bagnalli in lacking major antero- 

 angular and posteromarginal pronotal setae. This group needs further study in 

 South Africa as the present author has examined a number of males with very 

 similar chaetotaxy but in which the aedeagus is different from either bagnalli or 

 nigricornis. These species are related to clarisetis, dolichothripoid.es and robustus in 

 that they lack pronotal midlateral setae. The epimeral setae have expanded apices 

 in the females but softly pointed apices in the males.

 Olipterus and Sebaea] . 



Syntypes $ and $ of itnicolor. South Africa : Pirie, no other data. 



Haplothrips phyllireae Bagnall 



Haplothrips phyllireae Bagnall, 1933a : 329-330. 



The anteromarginal pronotal setae vary from quite small to as long as the antero- 

 angulars. The aedeagus is very similar to minutus as figured by Fabian (1938). 

 The postocular seta is very weakly expanded apically, and the maxillary bridge is 

 wide as in longipes and globiceps. 



LECTOTYPE <J. France : Hyeres Plage, Phyllirea, ix.1927 {R.S.B.). 



Haplothrips pineticola Bagnall 



Haplothrips pineticola Bagnall, ig26e : 656. 



This species is probably a synonym of phyllophilus Priesner, 1914. It can be 

 distinguished from aculeatus by the absence of a fore tarsal tooth, and the presence 

 of well developed pronotal anteromarginal setae. 



LECTOTYPE $. France : Font Romeu, 5,500 ft., Pinus, viii.1926 {R.S.B.).
