Name
Compsothrips Reuter – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
Remarks
There are 27 species listed in this genus, of which three are recorded from China: Compsothrips reticulates, Compsothrips sinensis and Compsothrips tenebronus (Guo and Feng 2006[1], Pelikan 1961[2], Han and Cui 1991[3]). Dang et al. (2013)[4] transferred Ophthalmothrips tenebronus Han & Cui to Compsothrips as a new combination, and also placed Cryptothrips furvus Reyes from Philippines as a new synonym of that species. Pelikan (1961)[2] described Compsothrips sinensis from Guangdong, China based on a single female specimen, and indicated that the holotype was deposited in NZMC, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. However, that specimen has not been found in NZMC, nor is it in the Pelikan collection in Slovakia, and it is possibly lost. From the original description, Compsothrips sinensis cannot be distinguished with Compsothrips tenebronus, and they may represent the same species, so Compsothrips sinensis is here excluded from the key below.
