Neurisothrips fasciatus
(
Moulton, 1937
)
(
Fig. 12
)
Described from a single female taken in a
wind trap
at Kipapa, Oahu, in
October 1935
, no significant details were given apart from colour: body brownish yellow, with fore wings having a brown band medially and at apex. No further specimens have been seen, and the species remains unique in the genus in having banded fore wings. Although brown in colour, it is similar to
dubautiae
in having unusually short setae on the head, with ocellar setae pair
III 25
microns long, and postocular setae pair
IV
scarcely 15 microns. The abdomen of the
holotype
is shrunken, thus obscuring details, but there seem to be fewer setae laterally on the tergites than in some other members of this genus
.
