Remarks
Of the 14 species included in this genus, three are recorded from China: Machatothrips antennatus, Machatothrips artocarpi and Machatothrips celosia. Several specimens of Machatothrips antennatus and Machatothrips artocarpi have been studied in ANIC, and these were identified from the types. The third species, Machatothrips celosia, was described from Taiwan and is added to the key below based on the key to 14 species by Palmer and Mound (1978)[1].
