Psalidothrips consimilis
Okajima, 1992: 541.
Material examined.
CHINA. Guangdong: Foshan City, Suoluo Nature Reserve (
22°29'N
,
111°30'E
), 2 females and 1 male, 27.iii.2005 (Jun Wang), 2 females and 1 male, 3.vii.2014 (Chao Zhao).
Distribution.
China (Guangdong); Japan (Ryukyu Islands).
Comments.
Described originally from Ryukyu Islands, Japan (
Okajima 1992
), this thrips is here newly recorded from China. In the description (
Okajima 1992
), the postocellar setae are minute, usually shorter than the diameter of the hind ocellus, but in the specimens listed here these setae are variable in length: some of them are much longer than the hind ocellus. The female (Fig. 19) is very similar to that of
P. ascitus
(
Okajima 1992
,
2006
). However, the males (Fig. 20) can be easily distinguished from
P. ascitus
by the narrow and incomplete pore plate on abdominal sternite VIII (Fig. 74).
