Genera of the leaf-feeding Dendrothripinae of the world (Thysanoptera, Thripidae), with new species from Australia and Sulawesi, Indonesia Author Mound, Laurence A. Author Tree, Desley J. text Zootaxa 2016 4109 5 569 582 journal article 39092 10.11646/zootaxa.4109.5.5 6bf8e862-b6f3-4da7-a8c2-b89e1c636e95 1175-5326 261205 24DE652C-A52D-4372-825A-E251293661AF Leucothrips Reuter : Of the five species placed in this genus, populations identified as theobromae have been studied from various places between Trinidad , Colombia and southern Mexico . However, at present theobromae can be distinguished from furcatus only by the presence of a small red pigmented area at the base of the antennae. These tiny species appear to have been dispersed in recent years across the Pacific (Mound et al . 2016), and nigripennis was dispersed around the world many years ago by the trade in cultivated ferns ( Mound 1999 ).
