Heterothrips angusticeps
Hood, 1954
This species is remarkable in having the pale basal half of antennal segment III subdivided into several parts (
Fig. 53
). The sensoria on antennal segments III–IV consist of a single row of pores, and the fore wings are pale basally. The male is similar to the female in color, but abdominal sternites VII–VIII have transverse pore plates (
Fig. 54
). No information about the host plant is available, neither in the original description nor on the slide labels of the specimens studied.
