Trinidad; C. B. Williams; on dead branch of Lagerstroemia 
infested with bromeliads. 
This species is separable from williamsi Priesner, described 
from Paraguay, by the much shorter and stouter antennal 
segments, particularly the fourth, which in williamsi is nearly 
twice as long as wide. 
Adraneothrips gen. nov. 
(aspavrjs, feeble; Opi\p, a wood worm.) 
Allied to Haplothrips, but wings narrowed and parallel-sided 
beyond base, not constricted at middle, sparsely fringed. Body 
weakly chitinized. Eyes often prolonged on ventral surface of 
head. Terminal segment of antenna long and slender, not 
closely united to 7. 
Genotype : Haplothrips (?) tibialis Hood. The species des- 
cribed by Hood and Williams as Haplothrips (?) bellus also belongs 
here, together with the five new species described below. 
Adraneothrips simulator sp. nov. 
Female (macropterous). — Length about 1.1 mm. Bicolo- 
rous; thorax and all of abdomen except tube pale yellow, with a 
band of bright crimson subhypodermal pigmentation along each 
side, broadest in pterothorax and abdominal segments 4 and 5; 
head and tube light brown, segments 8 and 9 of abdomen lightly 
shaded with brown; antennae with most of segment 3 and base 
of 4 pale; tibiae pale yellow or grayish white; femora shaded 
with brown. Eyes prolonged on ventral surface of head beyond 
their posterior dorsal margins; anterior marginal bristles of 
prothorax long and knobbed.
