Fore-coxce prominent,fore-femora very sharply bent basally, causing a prominentangle at base within ; the outer radius adorned by two promi-nent spine-set tubercles, one short and straight, the otherlarger, slightly curved, and surmounted by a curved spine ;a strong curved spine springs from a prominence at anteriorangle without, much as in Dicaiothrips. Abdomen elon-gated, tube short, about 1*2 times as long as segment 8 andonly 0*6 the length of head. Fisr. Klinothrips femoralis, gen. et sp. n., $ . Left fore-leg. This species is separated from $ Mecynothrips, Bagn., bythe less strongly produced head, the simple prothorax, andthe structure of the fore-femora ; and from Kleothrips(=Dracothrtpsi Bagn.) and Dicaiothrips, Bufm., by thelast-named feature. It should be noted that, with the excep-tion of D. nitidus, Bagn., the head in Dicaiothrips is onlyslightly produced, never as much as either the length of aneye or of the base of the produced part. Type. Klinothrips femoralis, sp. n. Klinothrips femoralis, sp. n. <$ .—Length 7*5 mm. With the characters of the genus. Colour dark chestnut-brown; antenna 1 joint 3 yellow,tinged with brown distally. Head widest across eyes, where it is about 0*35 as totallength of head, more than twice as long as the lengths of antennal joints 3 to 8 approximately asfollows :—72 : 5G : 48 : 29 : 23 : 18 ; 4 and 5 cla
