‘‘ Bagnalliella View in CoL ’’ nigricoxae Girault

Bagnalliella nigricoxae Girault 1929, p 1 .

Described from a single inadequately slide-mounted specimen ( Figure 1 View Figures 1–15 ), this is one of several species described by Girault that cannot at present be recognised satisfactorily (Mound 1996). Superficially it is similar to Haplothrips lyndi View in CoL described below, but it has a much longer basal stem to the fourth antennal segment and is probably only distantly related. The third antennal segment bears only one sensorium, the fore wings have no duplicated cilia and are possibly not constricted medially, and the maxillary bridge, prosternal sclerites, and pelta are not visible. There is thus no reason to consider the species a member of Haplothrips View in CoL , as decided provisionally by Pitkin (1973), although placement in the North American genus Bagnalliella View in CoL is equally unjustified.
