A previous hypothesis suggested H. haemorrhoidalis was native to the Amazon basin, with H. zucchi and H. similis native to the Atlantic Rainforest in southeastern Brazil ( Mound & Monteiro 1997 , Nakahara et al. 2015 ). But the records of H. longisensibilis ( Fig. 126 ) provided here from several states in Central and Northern Brazil indicate that species in the genus may have evolved in different areas more broadly within South America (see Xie et al . 2019 ). Recent thrips surveys indicate that H. longisensibilis is widespread in Central, Northern and Northeastern states of Brazil , but that the name H. haemorrhoidalis can be applied only to specimens collected in south, southeast and areas close to the Northeast oriental coast, all in the biome Atlantic Rainforest. Some previous records of H. haemorrhoidalis might represent H. longisensibilis , including records of damage to plants as described by Lima et al . (2016) ( Fig. 134 ). It appears that records of three of the four currently recognised species in this genus in Brazil are from Southeast and South. In central (Caatinga biome) and western (Cerrado and Amazon biomes) northeast, the only species recorded was H. longisensibilis , while H. similis was recorded in Bahia ( Nakahara et al . 2015 ) and H. haemorrhoidalis in Paraíba and Sergipe . Collections from Northern Brazil (Amazon biome) included H. longisensibilis and also a potentially undescribed species. The members of this genus have the antennae 8-segmented, with simple sense cones on segments III and IV, and segment VIII long and slender ( Figs 41–44 ). The fore wing apex is rounded, and the veinal setae very small.
