Ordo: Thysanoptera
Familia: Phlaeothripidae
Name
Bactrothrips Karny – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
Remarks
Currently there are 53 species listed in this genus, of which seven have been recorded from China: Bactrothrips brevitubus, Bactrothrips elongatus, Bactrothrips flectoventris, Bactrothrips furvescrus, Bactrothrips honoris, Bactrothrips pictipes and Bactrothrips quadrituberculatus. Dang and Qiao (2012a)[1] provided an identification key to these seven species, based on morphological and DNA barcoding data. The genus Bactrothrips is closely related to Megathrips, and differs from Megalothrips in usually having shorter maxillary stylets.
Diagnosis
Head much longer than width across eyes, usually prolonged in front of eyes; eyes usually equally developed ventrally and dorsally, sometimes obviously prolonged on ventral surface (Bactrothrips flectoventris); dorsum of head usually with 4 pairs of well-developed setae; stylets short and far apart, or long and close together; antennae 8-segmented, segment III with 2 sensoria, IV with 4; pronotum usually with 5 pairs of well-developed major setae, sometimes epimeral accessory setae also well-developed, notopleural sutures incomplete or complete; basantra present; mesopraesternum boat-shaped; metathoracic sternopleural sutures absent; wings usually fully developed with numerous duplicated cilia, sometimes apterous; fore tarsal tooth absent in both sexes; pelta broad, with two lobes; abdominal tergites II–VII each with 2 pairs of sigmoid wing-retaining setae; tergites V–VIII of male with or without lateral tubercles; tube surface with numerous fine setae; anal setae much shorter than tube.
