)
This species has previOusly been knOwn Only frOm a single female taken in a rainfOrest area Of
Queensland
in nOrth eastern
Australia
(
MOund 2011
). It is the Only species recOgnised in the genus, and the relatiOnships tO Other
Thripinae
are far frOm clear. The transverse sculpture lines On the head and bOdy (
Fig. 13
), the well-develOped lObed tergal craspeda, and the presence Of a single dOrsO-apical seta On the first antennal segment are remarkable features Of this thrips. It is here recOrded frOm
China
fOr the first time, and represents yet anOther interesting link between the thrips fauna Of trOpical Asia and nOrthern
Australia
