Cryptothrips Uzel – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
Remarks
There are 12 species listed in this genus, of which only one, Cryptothrips nigripes, is known from China, this Palaearctic species having been recorded from Inner Mongolia by Dang et al. (2013)[1]. Also Cryptothrips sauteri was described from Taiwan, but judging from the original description it was based on a single specimen that lacks antennae. This species cannot be recognized, and even its generic relationship remains unknown. The original specimen is not in the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt, where so many of Karny’s specimens are deposited, and is probably lost. The references in Mirab-balou (2011)[2] are simply bibliographic quotations.
