A Review of R. C. Treherne's Species of Thysanoptera
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
One of the few Canadian entomologists to study thrips was R. C. Treherne who was one of the group of workers to investigate the pear thrips when it first became an economic pest in North America. In the course of his work he collected and studied thysanoptera. His collection, supplemented by exchanges with other workers, formed the basis for the material now in the Canadian National Collection at Ottawa. The writer is indebted to curators of this collection and particularly T. N. Freeman, for the generous loan of valuable specimens for study, particularly the types of Treherne. The Moulton collection is now deposited at the San Francisco Academy of Science, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, California. We also wish to thank Dr. E. S. Ross, curator, for the opportunity of studying the types of Taeniothrips tahoei Moulton, Tae. pingreei Moulton, Tae. aureus Moulton, and Frankliniella californica Moulton.
