[sic], possibly a typographic mistake for Begonia sp. This dark brown thrips ( Figs 97–100 ) is unusual in having a very long antennal segment III, about 3.5 times as long as wide ( Fig. 98 ).

Moreover, the discal setae on abdominal sternites III–VI are placed only laterally and males lack sternal pore plates. Material examined.
