Description
In all but two of the described species (or subspecies) there are four pairs of major setae on the head (interocular, postocular, lateral postocular, and midvertex), but in both A. brasilianus and A. magnus Okajima & Urushihara the midvertex setae are scarcely larger than the minor setae on the vertex. The new species described below similarly has this pair of setae unusually small, but in addition the lateral postocular setae are also small, and the interocular setae are only a little larger (Fig. 8). Furthermore, the third antennal segment of this species has a prominent sub-basal flange unlike any other member of the genus (Fig. 10). Despite this difference, a similar sub-basal flange on the third antennal segment occurs in one or more species of several unrelated genera of Phlaeothripidae, suggesting that its use in defining genera needs to be re-considered (Mound & Minaei, 2007).
