Meiothrips Priesner – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
Remarks
Dang and Qiao (2012b)[1] provided a key to the five known species of Meiothrips, of which three are recorded from China: Meiothrips fuscicrus, Meiothrips menoni and Meiothrips nepalensis. Moreover, Meiothrips baishanzuensis Duan & Li from Henan Province was synonymised with Bactrothrips brevitubus Takahashi by Dang and Qiao (2012a)[2].
Diagnosis
Head much longer than width across eyes, prolonged in front of eyes, usually shorter than broad except in one species (Meiothrips kurosawai) about twice as long as broad; eyes normal or clearly prolonged on ventral surface; interocellar, postocellar, postocular, mid-dorsal and posterior-dorsal setae usually well-developed, sometimes small; stylets short and far apart; antennae 8-segmented, very slender, segment III usually more than twice head width across eyes, segment III with 2 sensoria, IV with 4; pronotal major setae usually well developed, sometimes aa small and epimeral accessory setae always minute, notopleural sutures incomplete; basantra present; mesopraesternum boat-shaped; metathoracic sternopleural sutures absent; wings usually fully developed with or without numerous duplicated cilia; fore tarsal tooth absent in both sexes, femora with several spine-setae; pelta always broad, lateral lobes broadly joined to median lobe; abdominal tergites II–VII each with 2 pairs of sigmoid wing-retaining setae; male tergites V–VIII without lateral tubercles; tube much longer than head, with numerous lateral setae, sometimes with 2 rows of stout tubercles and many large and small tubercles or denticles on dorsal surface; anal setae much shorter than tube.
