Nesothrips validus (Bagnall) 



Coenurothrips validus Bagnall, 1921b : 272-273. 

 Coenurolkrips brevicollis Bagnall, 1921b : 271-272. Syn. n. 



Although brevicollis has page priority, the name is preoccupied in Nesothrips and 

 validus is the next available name. Bagnall described validus from a single speci- 

 men, and the broader head and more bulky form are apparently due to crushing 

 during mounting.

Onychothrips hakeae Bagnall 



Onychothrips hakeae Bagnall, 1929I1 : 198-199. 



Bagnall was unable to distinguish this species satisfactorily from tepperi Uzel, but 

 described it as a new species on the basis of the different host association. 0. 

 tepperi was found on Acacia aneura, but Thysanoptera are not completely host 

 specific (see Teuchothrips pittosporiicola) and hakeae is probably a synonym of 

 tepperi.

Phaulothrips caudatus Bagnall 



Phaulothrips caudatus Bagnall, i932e : 510-51 1. 



The unique holotype is shrunken and contains much white pigment internally, 

 although it is not clear if this is an artefact. The species appears to be related to 

 Polyphemothrips but agrees well with the definition of Phaulothrips. There is a pair 

 of long anteocellar setae with flattened apices, and antennal segments V and VI are 

 produced distally. The postocular setae are long and arise near the inner margin of 

 the eyes. The pelta has a slender lateral lobe on each side and the abdominal 

 tergites apparently have only one wing retaining seta. The tube is reticulate, 

 slightly constricted apically, and the fore wing bears about sixteen accessory cilia. 

 The maxillary stylets are broad and fairly close together in the middle of the head. 



Holotype $. Australia : Victoria, Mornington, Casuarina branchlets, 21.x. 

 1928 (R. Kelly).
