Abdominal segment X (tube) long, about three-fourths as long as head; anal setae shorter than tube. All major body setae pointed. This monobasic genus can be recog- nized by the form of the head, in which the eyes are relatively small and the cheeks swollen in the basal third fol- lowed immediately by a sharply in- cised subbasal region, as well as by the armature of the fore legs

So far the representative of this genus, amplus, has been collected only in southern Florida and may never be found in Illinois. Sporothrips amplus (Hood) Adiaphorothrips amplus Hood (1925c: 221). 9 . Type-locality.—Braden- ton, Florida. Transferred to Sporo- thrips by Hood (1938c). Female (macropterous).—Length distended about 4 mm. General color brown, being darkest in abdomen. Base of tibiae and all tarsi light brown to yellowish brown. Antennal segment III mostly, and bases of segments IV and V yellow. Body setae yellow. Wings colorless. Head as in Fig. 178, with sides transversely striate, base hexagonally reticulate, cheek setae small. Antennal segment III with one outer and one inner sense cone, segment IV with two outer and two inner sense cones. Prothorax weakly hexagonally re- ticulate, bare medially. Metascutum hexagonally reticulate. Fore tibiae without inner apical tooth, fore tarsi each armed with a moderate-sized tooth. Fore wings broad, with more than 30 accessory fringe cilia. Pelta (Fig. 309) wide, predominant- ly hexagonally reticulate. Abdominal sternites with a median row of small setae in addition to posterior pairs. Abdominal tergite IX with major pos- terior setae not as long as tube. Ab- dominal segment X (tube) very faint- ly hexagonally reticulate except at apex. Male (macropterous).—Length distended about mm. Similar in general
