REMARKS
The specimens examined agree with the redescription of this species by McLaughlin (2004). Some variation in the morphological characters not mentioned by McLaughlin (2004) were observed. The dorsolateral surfaces of the shields of the specimens from Madagascar have prominent spines. The antennal peduncles have more spines: the second segments of the antennal peduncles each have the dorsodistal angle produced, terminating into two large spines followed by three or four spines on the lateral margin, the dorsomesial distal angle has two prominent spines; the antennal acicles have six or seven spines on the mesial margin, and two to four spines on lateral margin. The chelipeds and the second and third pereopods are more setose.

(Fig. 13)
Pirene herbacea Graham, 1969: 346 –347.
Macroglenes herbaceus; Hedqvist, 2003: 110.
Diagnosis. Body with conspicuous bluish-green metallic color; clypeal margin not incised (cf. Figs 1–2); only F5 large and provided with sensilla, F1–F3 compacted together (cf. Figs 5–6); mesosoma moderately convex (cf. Fig. 10); pecten mostly irregular and about 1/2 length of hind tibia, sometimes slightly more; forewing, ovipositor sheaths and hypopygium as in M. gramineus. Male with both eyes and antennal scape normal.

Variation. In one examined male F4 was larger than usual; in some females the knees are less distinctly pale and the metallic tinge less obvious.
Comments. The females of M. herbaceus (Graham) are very similar to those of M. gramineus (Haliday). They can be separated from the latter by the less developed hind tibial pecten, which is mostly irregular and about 1/2 the length of the hind tibia (Fig. 13), more conspicuous bluish-green metallic body color, and usually light-colored knees. However, they are rather difficult to separate from those of M. gramineus because the tibial pecten is not always easy to observe if the hind legs are not in an appropriate position; moreover, in old specimens, the metallic color is usually faint.
Distribution. Netherlands, Sweden, U.K. (Noyes 2003); previously unrecorded from the Czech Republic.
Hosts. Unknown.

REMARKS
Most of the specimens used in this study are smaller than the holotype of P. laurentae. Variations were observed in the number and size of spines on the antennal peduncles and chelipeds. The antennal peduncles of the present specimens have more spines on the fifth segment (two or three spines mesially), and the ventrodistal angle of the third segment sometimes terminates in an acute bifid spine, whereas in the type there is one spine on the fifth segment, and the ventrodistal angle of the third segment terminates in a acute spine. The mesial faces of the dactyls of the chelipeds each has a row of tuberculate spines along the midline or near the dorsal margin, whereas the type has a row of low protuberances.

Body yellow. Antennal segment III with sharp-edged pedicel with ring about two times as wide as basal stem. Ocellar setae III near external margins of ocellar triangle. Pronotum with weak striation; five pairs of setae well developed. Metanotum with median setae long, almost reaching posterior margin of metanotum; pair of campaniform sensilla present. Fore wings pale. Abdominal tergite VIII with complete posteromarginal comb. Male yellow with transverse pore plates on abdominal sternites III–VII.
Material Examined. Brazil. São Paulo: Holambra, two females from chrysanthemums, vi.1994; Paranapanema, one female from chrysanthemums, 5.vi.1994; Taquaritinga, three females from flower buds of “murcot”, xi.1997. (ESALQ)
Comments. In Brazil, F. condei John has been recorded as a pest of nectarine, orange, murcote and cut flowers in southern and southeastern Brazil (Monteiro et al. 2001). However, the specimens involved, that were also used in producing a key to Frankliniella species (Monteiro et al. 2001), are deposited in ESALQ/USP, and reexamination of these has revealed that they are misidentified F. musaeperda. As a result, F. condei remains known only from the type material, as pointed out by Cavalleri and Mound (2012), and should not be considered a pest. F. musaeperda is also known as a minor pest of banana in Central America.

(Figs 12, 17, 28, 34)
Body brown. Antennal segment III with elongated pedicel (Fig. 12). Ocellar setae III near external margins of ocellar triangle (Fig. 17). Pronotum with weak striation; five pairs of setae well developed. Metanotum with median setae long, almost reaching the posterior margin of metanotum; pair of campaniform sensilla present (Fig. 28). Fore wing brown. Abdominal tergite VIII with complete posteromarginal comb (Fig. 34). Male yellow with transverse pore plates on abdominal sternites III8 –VII.
Material Examined. Brazil. Amazonas: Manaus (Sítio Tucandeira 62 Km), four females and one male on Musa ornata, two females on Heliconia sp., 18.vii.2009 (E. Brito); Maranhão: São Luís (Parque Estadual do Itapiracó), one male on Davilla sp., 8.i.2017 (E.F.B.Lima) (CHNUFPI and ESALQ).
Comments. The unique pedicel on antennal segment III is the most reliable character for the identification of this species. It is reported from bananas in the Dominican Republic (Harrison 1963), Ecuador, Peru (Ortiz 1977), Costa Rica, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Haiti, St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Grenada, Mexico, Colombia, Honduras (Sakimura 1986; Mound & Marullo 1996), Guadeloupe (Simon 1993) and Cuba (Vásquez & López 2001; Pérez et al. 2004). However, it is also recorded from the flowers of cocoa in Central America. Given the proximity of the state of Amazonas to the countries in which F. parvula has previously been recorded, collection of the species in this region of Brazil was expected. This thrips feeds and lays eggs on the small, developing fruits of banana, and as consequence low quality fruits are produced. The oviposition marks result in pimples found on almost every fruit cluster from Central America and the West Indies (Ostmark 1974), and feeding on the fruit skin causes small dark spots. Severe attacks make the skin rough and cracked, as well as causing a dry pulp (Yañez et al. 2004).

Macroglenes nigroclypeatus Amerling & Kirchner, 1860; Kirchner, 1860: 72.
Comments. Macroglenes nigroclypeatus may not belong to Macroglenes or even Pteromalidae. It is not absolutely clear from Kirchner’s very brief description, but the details of its biology (reared from ‘Larven der Kohlraupe’, i.e. caterpillars of lepidopterans attacking cabbage, e.g. Pieris or Mamestra) suggests that it may be an eulophid, perhaps a Melittobia, because species of Melittobia resemble Macroglenes and are known to attack these hosts. According to Dr. Jan Macek (NMPC) the original specimens, if they still exist, may be scattered throughout Bouček’s collection in NMPC, and thus be very difficult to find. Until they are eventually found I treat M. nigroclypeatus as a nomen dubium.

Lindner (1958) described Nemodema based on a single specimen from Zimbabwe. He differentiated the genus from Dolichodema solely on the basis of its having very little pilosity on the first two antennal segments. I have recently examined the holotype of N. nudibasis Lindner, and while the pilosity is short and sparse, it is present on both the scape and pedicel, and is more evident on the latter. On the scape it is somewhat difficult to observe, and it is possible that some of it has been abraded off. I have seen a number of additional specimens that are conspecific, and some of these have more evident pilosity on the scape. In all specimens the pilosity is whitish and mostly appressed to the cuticular surface. Pilosity is more evident on the scape and pedicel of D. africanum and although short, it is easier to observe because it is black. I regard this character state as trivial and not warranting recognition of separate taxa.
Other than the slight differences in antennal pilosity discussed above, the three species that I have examined that are referable to Dolichodema are very similar in structure. All have similar antennal structure, with flagellomeres 7 and 8 covered with a vestiture of stiff, bristly black hairs that obscures the cuticular surface. The apex of flagellomere 8 is not modified into an arista-like style, and flagellomere 8 is 2.5–3.0 times longer than 7. I regard these character states as autapomorphic for Dolichodema.

Dolichodema fenestrata James 1949a: 5.
Nemodema nudibasis Lindner 1958: 122. Syn. n.
The original description of Dolichodema fenestratum indictes that it is very similar to Lindner’s taxon, N. nudibasis. This was confirmed by examining a photograph of the holotype of D. fenestratum available on the internet (http://research.amnh.org/invertzoo/ types _db/) and comparing it to the holotype of N. nudibasis. No significant differences were found, and I regard the two taxa as conspecific. Additional specimens have been examined from other African localities, so the distribution of the species can be summarized as Afrotropical: Kenya, Liberia, Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe.
Dolichodema fenestratum is probably a vespid wasp mimic, and is more modified than D. africanum and one undescribed species of Dolichodema that I have seen. The fourth and fifth sternites are convex and give the end of the abdomen a more wasp-like, convex and rounded appearance compared to the other two species. Both D. fenestratum and the undescribed species have a transparent “window” on abdominal segments 2 and 3 which presumably give the abdomen a petiolate apperance in flight, similar to that found in Hermetia illucens (Linnaeus).

Type species— Rhipidia maculata Meigen, 1818 (monotypic).
Medium sized crane flies. Wing length varies from 5 to nearly 9 mm. Main body coloration yellowish, brown or gray. The most distinct feature are pectinate male antennae and serrate female antennae of most species. Wing comparatively wide and distinctly patterned with at least few dark spots at frontal margin, usually with lots of small dots. Vein Sc1 reaches beyond base of radial sector, usually up to the middle of Rs; Sc2 at tip of Sc1, cell sc usually with additional cross-vein at the middle; radial sector long and arched, only in rare cases some specimens have angulated and short-spurred base of Rs, discal cell closed in R. (Rhipidia) and open in R. (Eurhipidia). Basal deflection of CuA1 close to branching point of M (base of discal cell); anal angle distinct, posterior margin widely rounded. Male genitalia with two pairs of terminal gonostyles. Inner gonostylus large, oval with longer or shorter rostral prolongation, that is armed with few spines. Outer gonostylus strongly sclerotised, long, narrow and arched. Ovipositor with long slightly arched cercus and large hypovalva.
Preimaginal stages are known only for three species, all of them belong to subgenus R. (Rhipidia).
Genus Rhipidia includes 232 extant species, which are grouped into two subgenera (Oosterbroek, 2016) and six fossil species (Evenhuis, 2014). It has a worldwide distribution with highest diversity in Neotropics (Oosterbroek, 2016).

Description. Female.
Body length. 1.3 mm.
Color. Body black, without metallic reflections. Eye pale red. Antenna brown. Mandible light brown. Legs brown, tarsi yellowish with the last segment darker. Tegula and venation brownish, wings hyaline.
Head. In frontal view about as high as wide. POL about 1.8X OOL. Eye height about 1.4X length. Malar space about 0.4X as long as eye height. Scape shorter than eye height; combined length of pedicel and flagellum slightly shorter than head width; pedicel length in lateral view about 1.8X width; F1–F4 anelliform, without sensilla, F1–F3 more compacted together; F5 large, with sensilla, width about 1.4X length; clava length about 2.2X width.

Macroglenes yuasai

description: Macroglenes yuasai (Ishii)
Pirene yuasai Ishii, 1953: 6.
Macroglenes yuasai, comb. nov.
Diagnosis. Antenna with both F4 and F5 large, but apparently only F5 with sensilla, F4 almost as long as three preceding segments; ovipositor sheaths nearly 1/7 length of gaster. Male with eyes and scape normal.
Material examined. Unfortunately, despite all efforts, the original specimens of M. yuasai could not be located in any Japanese institution. According to Dr. Kaoru Maetô they might be in National Agricultural Research Centre, Tsukuba, but in order to be found the entire collection would have to be searched, which was not possible at this time.
Comments. From Ishii’s quite detailed description, but with very few useful characters (see diagnosis above) (Ishii 1953), the species looks closest to M. penetrans / M. conjungens / M. gibsoni / M. noyesi group of species, having both F4 and F5 large. From Ishii’s drawings it seems that F4 is not provided with sensilla, which is unlikely considering the large size of the segment that is clearly not anelliform. Observations of other species of the genus show that, if carefully examined, all the antennal segments larger than the anelliform ones have at least one sensillum. The fact that the male has normal eyes indicates that from the above group of species M. yuasai is closest to M. conjungens Graham and M. noyesi sp. nov. Ishii stated that “this species may be Pirene chalybea HALIDY” [p. 7]. This is not true because males of M. chalybeus have the antennal scape greatly enlarged. Also in M. chalybeus F4 is similar to F3, not distinctly enlarged.
Distribution. Japan.
Hosts. Reared from Sitodiplosis mosellana (Ishii 1953). From this host only M. penetrans has been reared so far, but Ishii’s species must be a different one because he does not mention that the male has enlarged eyes.
