Identification and host associations of some Thysanoptera Phlaeothripinae described from Australia pre-1930
نویسنده
چکیده
Among Australian fungus-feeding Thysanoptera, five new synonyms are recognised in Horistothrips Morgan, and among leaf-feeding species, three new synonyms are recognised in Teuchothrips Hood and one in Neocecidothrips Moulton. Horistothrips curviseta Girault is transferred to Neocecidothrips as the second species in that genus and its host-plant is identified. Cryptothrips additamentus Karny is transferred to Gynaikothrips Zimmermann and identified as a common kleptoparasite in the leaf roll galls of Gynaikothrips australis Bagnall. A key is provided to 13 Australian species remaining in Teuchothrips; host-plants are recognised for six of these, but seven remain known only from their original fragmented specimens.

متن کاملFungus-feeding thrips from Australia in the worldwide genus Hoplandrothrips (Thysanoptera, Phlaeothripinae).
From Australia, 16 species of Hoplandrothrips are here recorded, of which 11 are newly described. An illustrated key is provided to 15 species, but Phloeothrips leai Karny cannot at present be recognised from its description. The generic relationships between Hoplandrothrips, Hoplothrips and some other Phlaeothripinae that live on freshly dead branches are briefly discussed.

An illustrated key is provided for the identification of 39 genera of Thysanoptera--Phlaeothripinae with species that live in association with dead branches and leaf-litter in Australia and are considered to be fungus-feeding. Seven of these genera are not previously recorded from this continent, including un-named species of Deplorothrips, Malacothrips, Mystrothrips, Preeriella and Tylothrips,...

Five new species associated with the inflorescences of Macaranga trees are described in the Asian genus Dolichothrips Karny. Four of these, chikakoae, eriae, fialae and utae, are from the Malaysian region where they are involved in the pollination of these trees. The fifth, franae, is described from the Hawaiian Islands but is probably introduced from Southeast Asia, and this species appears al...
متن کاملThe minute, fungus-feeding species of Sophiothrips (Thysanoptera, Phlaeothripinae) from Australia and New Zealand.
Five new species of Sophiothrips are described from mainland Australia, of which one is widespread in the eastern part of the continent, with a second widespread across the northern tropical zone. These species appear to be members of the breviceps species-group from the Old World tropics. One of these five is particularly unusual within the genus in that the maxillary stylets are retracted int...
