BAGNALL'S THYSANOPTERA 151 



Teuchothrips froggatti (Bagnall) 



Mesothrips froggatti Bagnall, 1924k : 637. 

 Teuchothrips froggatti (Bagnall) Bagnall, 1929b : 190. 



This species resembles pittosporiicola in having tergite IX Bi setae of the male long 

 and acute, and B2 short and softly pointed. It differs from that species in lacking 

 fore wing accessory cilia as do both insolens and minor, as well as the type-species of 

 the genus simplicipennis Hood. 



LECTOTYPE <$. Australia : New South Wales, Penshurst, nr. Sydney, 

 Callistemon terminal leaf bud galls (W. W. Froggatt). 



Teuchothrips insolens (Bagnall) 



Mesothrips insolens Bagnall, 1924k : 638. 

 Teuchothrips insolens (Bagnall) Bagnall, 1939b : 190. 



This species resembles the type-species of the genus, simplicipennis Hood, in 

 lacking fore wing accessory cilia and in having Bi and B2 on tergite IX of the female 

 expanded apically and about two thirds as long as the tube. In the male B2 is short 

 and expanded. The postocular setae are as long as the eye whereas in simplici- 

 pennis they are shorter. 



Syntypes <&£ & $$. Australia : Victoria, Healesville, Leptospermum myrsin- 

 oides, i.1917 {R. Kelly). 



Teuchothrips minor Bagnall 



Teuchothrips minor Bagnall, 1929I1 : 193. 



This differs from the other forms described in the genus without fore wing 

 accessory cilia in having Bi and B2 on tergite IX short and subequal in length in 

 both sexes, with the apices broadly expanded. 



LECTOTYPE $. Australia : New South Wales, Pt. Macquarie, in spirally 

 curled leaf of Melaleuca, 3.H.1900 (W. W. Froggatt). 



Teuchothrips pittosporiicola Bagnall 



Teuchothrips pittosporiicola Bagnall, 1929I1 : 191-192. 



This is the only described species in this genus known to the present author with 

 Bi and B2 setae on tergite IX as long as or longer than the tube and with the apices 

 acute. In bursariicola Priesner these setae are softly pointed or weakly expanded. 

 The males of both species have B2 setae short and stout, about one third as long as 

 Bi. The host associations of these thrips are apparently not as strict as Bagnall 

 considered. The present author has recently studied specimens of bursariicola from 

 deformed leaves of Pittosporum phillyreoides collected in Glen Osmond, South 

 Australia. 



LECTOTYPE <$. Australia : New South Wales, Botany, Pittosporum leaves, 

 14. hi. 1900 (W. W. Froggatt).
