very long, particularly the midlateral setae of the male. The anterior margin of the meso- 

 sternum is only half as wide in the male as in the female, the mesopraesterna therefore differ 

 considerably in shape between the sexes. 



Holotype $. Ghana : Aburi, in shot hole borer's tunnel in dead Loranthus stem 

 on Hevea, 3.xii.io,i5 (W. H. Patterson). 



Holotype <$ of penicillatus. Sierra Leone : Njala, in twigs of Bauhinia tomen- 

 tosa, 1936 (E. Hargreaves). 



Karnyothrips duplicattts (Bagnall) comb. n. 



Podolhrips duplicatus Bagnall, 1918a : 211-213. 



Most of the major setae are missing from the unique holotype, and the only two 

 remaining are on the pronotum. These setae are widely expanded suddenly at the 

 apex as in flavipes Jones, and the stout hind femora and short tube also recall that 

 species. In duplicatus however the mesopraesternum is not reduced medially and 

 the pronotal anteromarginal setae are not small. 



Holotype 9- Ghana : Aburi, Canna flowers, 30.xi.1915 (W. H. Patterson). 



Karnyothrips flavipes (Jones) 



A nthothrips flavipes Jones, 1912 : 18-19. 

 Haplothrips longisetis Bagnall, 1913! : 297. 



The genus Karnyothrips Watson, 1923 with flavipes as type-species, is here accepted 

 as a valid genus for a small group of Haplothrips-\\ke species with stout hind femora 

 and apical setae longer than the tube. 



Holotype $ of longisetis. Egypt : Alexandria, dead twig of Fig, 6. hi. 1905 (F. V. 



Theobald). 



Karnyothrips melaleucus (Bagnall) 



Hindsiana melaleuca Bagnall, 1911c : 61—62. 



Although described from a single specimen taken in a European glasshouse, 

 Priesner (1964) states that this species occurs in Africa, India and North America. 



Holotype $. Denmark : Copenhagen, on cruciferous flower in Palm House, 

 30. vi. 1909 (R.S.B.). 



KELLYIA Bagnall 



Kellyia Bagnall, 1929I1 : 188-189. Type-species Teuchothrips hoodianus, by monotypy. 



This is distinguished from Teuchothrips by its longer head and antennae. The type-species 

 shares the following characters with Teuchothrips species ; antennae eight-segmented, VII and 

 VIII closely united ; one sense cone on III, three major sense cones on IV ; maxillary stylets 

 approach each other in middle of head ; fore tarsus with a stout claw ; praepectus absent, 

 mesopraesternum degenerate medially ; pronotum with longitudinal median line thickened ; 

 pelta triangular with apical margin transverse ; tergites with two pairs of wing retaining 

 setae ; body surface reticulate ; tube weakly constricted apically.
