Notes on a Thrips injurious to vines in Cyprus

This insect, which is being described by Mr. R. Bagnall under the name of Crypto-thrips brevicollis, sp. n.. has been known to vine-growers in Cyprus for at least ten years, but was believed to be harmless, and the damage it actually effected was attri-buted to other causes, e.g., fungus, unsuitable soil, bad cultivation, or faulty methods of planting. A fortnight's study on the spot during August last convinced me that the injury from which these vines were suffering was not due to any of these causes. A careful examination of roots, leaves, branches, grapes and flowers revealed no fungoid disease. Nor was the attack due to defective soil or imperfect planting or cultivation, as the same characteristic attack was seen on the vines of the Departmental Model Vineyard at Omodhos where the soils had been most thoroughly cultivated and the vines had been carefully planted and skilfully tended. The vine owners whose vines were found thus attacked called the disease “Caraoli,” which means “curling,” a condition brought about by the action of the vine thrips.
