Pseudanaphothrips achaetus
(Bagnall)
.
Both sexes of this highly polyphagous Australian flower thrips were found on Maui, Haleakala National Park, in the flowers of the native plant
Geranium cuneatum
[
Geraniaceae
] and the flowers of an introduced
Oenothera stricta
[
Onagraceae
]. It is distinguished from the other members of this predominantly Australian genus by the absence of any long setae on the pronotum. In the key to Thripinae genera in Mound et al. (2016) this species will run to
Anaphothrips
, but in contrast to members of that genus the forewing in
Pseudanaphothrips
species
resembles that of species of
Frankliniella
in having both longitudinal veins with a complete row of setae.
