Takethrips
Nonaka & Jangvitaya
This genus comprises two species collected from unidentified bamboos and grasses in
Thailand
.
T. bambusae
has a stout and serrated ovipositor that does not extend to the apex of the abdomen, whereas in
T. megas
the ovipositor is very weakly sclerotised with no marginal serrations (
Fig. 91
). Another genus from
Thailand
and
Japan
,
Yoshinothrips
, is similar to
Takethrips
, but the three known species all have two pairs of long pronotal posteroangular setae, and the ovipositor is stout and boldly serrated (Mound & Ng, 2009).
