Type species Trichothrips erinaceus Karny, 1920 , by original designation. Six species of thrips, all breeding only on Casuarina foliage, are placed in this genus, and these include five names transferred from Teuchothrips . Of these, Liothrips brevidens Hood and L. gracilior Hood were two of the six species that Hood (1919) included when describing Teuchothrips . The other three were described in Teuchothrips by Moulton (1968) , but are now recognised as synonyms of three species in Heligmothrips that were originally described by Hood (1918) or by Karny (1920) (for details see Mound, 1996).
