São Paulo : Campinas ( Mata de Santa Genebra ), one male and four females on Eupatorium laevigatum , 14.iii.1994 ( F.L. Cônsoli ), Piracicaba, one female on shrubs, 13.iii.1997 ( R.C. Monteiro ) (CHNUFPI and ESALQ ) . Comments. Frankliniella caseariae was described from one female ( Moulton 1933 ), but Cavalleri and Mound (2012) recorded some more females; the male described here is the first known of this species. The specimen is structurally very similar to females, but paler, as is usual in other dark-bodied Frankliniella species.
