Remarks

Of the 11 species included in this genus, four are recorded from China: Ophthalmothrips formosanus, Ophthalmothrips longiceps, Ophthalmothrips miscanthicola and Ophthalmothrips yunnanensis. This last species was based on one female and three males, and the description indicates that it is unusual in having the tergal wing-retaining setae small and straight in macropterae (Cao et al. 2010). Ophthalmothrips formosanus is here newly recorded from mainland China, in Henan Province.

Diagnosis

Head longer than broad, projecting in front of eyes; eyes distinctly prolonged ventrally; 1 pair of postoculars well developed, 1 pair of interocellar setae elongate; stylets short, V-shaped; antennae 8-segmented, segment III with 2 sensoria, IV with 2 or 4; pronotum usually with 4 pairs of major setae, anteromarginals short, notopleural sutures complete; basantra present; mesopraesternum developed; metathoracic sternopleural sutures absent; fore wings, if well developed, with duplicated cilia; fore tarsal tooth present or absent; pelta broadly triangular; abdominal tergites II–VII usually each with 2 pairs of sigmoid wing-retaining setae; tube smooth without lateral setae; anal setae various.
