MIMOTHRIPS Priesner stat. n. 

 (Text-figs. 54 & 71) 



Mimothvips Priesner, 1949 : 72, as subgenus of Eurhynchothrips . Type-species Enrhynchothrips 

 hargreavesi Priesner, by original designation. 



This genus may be distinguished from Eurhynchothrips by : 



Antennals III and IV with two sense cones ; fore wings without accessory cilia ; pronotum 

 with only one pair of epimeral setae ; maxillary bridge longer, the stylets farther apart in the 

 head (Text-fig. 54). The praepectus is absent, the mesopraesternum degenerate, and the 

 abdominal tergites bear two pairs of wing retaining setae as in Eurhynchothrips. 



Mimothrips longicornis (Bagnall) comb. n. 



Trichothrips longicornis Bagnall, 1913! : 298-299. 

 Trichothrips longicornis Bagnall ; Bagnall, 1918a : 215-216. 



The type series of this species is mounted on a slide with the mountant blackened 

 and opaque. The material referred to by Bagnall in 1918 from Ghana, Aburi, has 

 been studied. This may be distinguished from hargreavesi as follows ; postocular 

 setae not as long as eye ; antennal V twice as long as broad ; metanotum with 

 reticles equiangular not longitudinal as in hargreavesi. The paratypes on the 

 blackened slide are from Sierra Leone, without further data.

Mystrothrips japonicus (Bagnall) comb. n. 



(Text-fig. 72) 



Cryptothrips japonicus Bagnall, 1921c : 355-356. 



The unique specimen upon which this species is based differs from the type-species of Mystro- 

 thrips in lacking a fore tarsal tooth and in having acute setae at the apex of the tube. However 

 the body surface, particularly the tergites and sternites of the abdomen, is conspicuously 

 reticulate and there is a single pair of postocular setae arising near the inner margin of the eye. 

 The pronotal major setae are long except the anteromarginals, and all the major body setae 

 have long spoon-shaped apices. The praepectus is present, the pelta broad, and the tergites 

 bear only one pair of wing retaining setae. The wings are parallel-sided without accessory 

 cilia, and the base of antennal III is conspicuously annulated.
