PROC. ENT. SOC. WASH., VOL. 69, NO. 1, MARCH, 1967 47 NEW LOCALITY RECORDS AND A NEW SPECIES OF CHIROTHRIPS HALIDAY ( Thysanopter.\ : Thrii'idae ) Richard zur Strassen, Natur-Museum unci Forschtings-Institut Scnckenberg Frankfurt am Main, Germany Chirothrips material from the U. S. National Museum recently studied by the author yielded a new Turkish species and several new locality records. The material listed below is in the U. S. National Museum, except for exchange specimens in the Senckenberg-Museum, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, which is indicated by "SMF." I am grateful to the authorities of the U. S. National Museum for the loan of the material, and to Kellie O'Neill, U. S. Department of Agriculture, for comparing holotypes and for help in many ways during my studies of Chirothrips. In addition, sincere thanks are due the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, Bad Godesberg, Germany, for con-tinued support of my work on Thysanoptera.
