Cryptothrips shavianus
Bagnall, 1918: 216
Described from “two males” taken
31.i.1916
on
Acacia
at Healesville,
Victoria
, these specimens are dark and opaque, and the specimen selected as
Lectotype
is “probably a female” (
Mound 1968: 77
). One female has also been seen from southern
New South Wales
, and another from
Tasmania
. The head and thorax are similar to those of
P. pygus
but the pelta (
Fig. 39
), also the tube and setae on tergite IX, are different. As in that species, the base of antennal segment VIII is narrower than the apex of segment VII, and the fore wing bears about 20 duplicated cilia.
