Order THYSANOPTERA 



Compiled by J. Douglas Hood and Glenn W. Herrick 



While the present list of New York thrips is nearly twice as long as 

 that of Hinds for all of North America (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 26, 

 p. 79-242, 1902), it certainly represents not more than half of the species 

 which could be taken in a few months of really careful collecting. New 

 York material of the group would be welcome indeed, and collectors are 

 urged to send specimens (preferably in 80-per-cent alcohol) to the com- 

 pilers of this list, for identification. 



The first attempt to compile a list of New York Thysanoptera was 

 made by Jacobus C. Faure, now Professor of Entomology in the Trans- 

 vaal University College, Pretoria, Union of South Africa, while he was 

 an undergraduate student at Cornell University. Mr. Faure collected 

 about thirty species, most of which had not previously been taken in the 

 State.
