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).
