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).
