XIV. — A Preliminary Account of the 
Thysanoptera of Borneo.— By Richard S. 
Bagnall, F.L.S. 
At Mr. Moulton’s request I write this brief review 
of the Thysanoptera of Borneo. Although many 
Malayan and Indo-Malayan species have been described 
in recent years, only two species had, until very 
recently, been recorded from Borneo, namely, Adiaplioro- 
thriys simplex and Dinothrips sumatrensis. Mr. G. E. 
Bryant, however, whilst collecting small Coleoptera in 
the neighbourhood of Mt. Matang in the winter of 
1918-4, made a small collection of Thrips which has 
proved to be one of the most interesting collections I 
have yet examined, containing many new species, in¬ 
cluding the types of some very interesting new genera, 
and also adding considerably to our knowledge of the 
Malayan Thysanoptera. 
Mr. Bryant’s collection shows that the Thrips of Borneo 
are somewhat specialized, and it would well repay other 
entomologists to make special collections in this obscure 
group. The minute flower-loving species, at least, should 
be collected into about sixty per cent, of alcohol. I should 
welcome material from other correspondents resident or 
journeying in Borneo, and take this opportunity of con¬ 
veying to Mr. G. E. Bryant my hearty thanks for his care¬ 
fully collected material. I also owe my gratitude to the 
Editors of the Annals and Magazine of Natural History for 
the loan of three of the blocks reproduced herein.
