Haplothrips victoriensis Bagnall 



Haplothrips victoriensis Bagnall, 1918a : 208-209. 



This large dark species has a wide and stout maxillary bridge and the stylets are 

 also rather stouter than usual. The major setae are all dark with broadly expanded 

 apices, except the third subbasal wing seta which is pale and softly pointed. 



LECTOTYPE J. Australia : Victoria, Healesville, Prostanthera lasiantha, 

 18.xii.1915 (R. Kelly). 



HOLUROTHRIPS Bagnall 



Holurothrips Bagnall, 191 4! : 376. Type-species H. ornatus, by monotypy. 



This genus is near Hystricothrips Karny from which it can be distinguished by the 

 longer and less hairy tube. The genus may be defined as follows. 



Head widest across eyes, slightly narrowed basally, interocellar projection about two thirds as 

 long as rest of head. Two pairs of interocellar setae, one pair of postocellars, and two pairs of 

 postocular setae ; cheeks with one stout seta just beyond eye. Antennae eight-segmented, III 

 and IV r with two sense cones. Pronotal antero-angular setae close to midiaterals ; praepectus 

 present, mesopraestenram not seen, metanotum reticulate. Pelta broad, tergites IV and V with 

 three pairs of wing retaining setae, tergite IX with B| and \U setae short and stout ; tube long, 

 curved ventrally, setose in basal four fifths. 



Holurothrips ornatus Bagnall 



Holurothrips ornatus Bagnall, I9i4f : 376-377. 

 Holurothrips leeuweni Priesner, 1934b : 62-63. Syn. n. 



This synonymy is based on a comparison of the two original specimens with three 

 paratypes of leeuweni. Bagnall's specimens are macropterous, but most of the 

 differences indicated by Priesner are due to the fact that ornatus was described from 

 dry carded specimens and leeuweni from specimens on slides. The lateral abdominal, 

 and marginal wing retaining setae are pale yellow in both forms, but the accessory 

 wing retaining setae are black. 



LECTOTYPE <$. Sarawak : Matang, 1,000 ft., in decaying leaves, 2.XU.1913 

 (G. E. Bryant). 



Hoplandrothrips bidens (Bagnall) 



Acanthothrips bidens Bagnall, i9iog : 374-375. 

 Hoplandrothrips ellisi Bagnall, 1914a : 35-37. Syn. n. 

 Hoplandrothrips collinsi Bagnall, 1914a : 37-38. Syn. n. 

 Phloeothrips parvulus Bagnall, 1927b : 584-585. Syn. n. 



This species apparently varies considerably in size and colour. In gynaecoid 

 males the fore femoral tubercles are not developed. The author is grateful to 

 Dr. G. D. Morison for his comments on this synonymy. The holotype male of 

 collinsi was taken with the type series of ellisi but is mounted on a blackened slide 

 and is spoiled.
