Author Dang, Li-Hong Author Tree, Desley J. text Zootaxa 2013 3681 3 201 224 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.3681.3.1 caf9f3a0-f5e2-400d-b023-1ec9607edf1d 1175-5326 247292 0473676C-4B88-4919-A5AD-F5612F08FBBE Ecacanthothrips Bagnall This genus comprises 11 species from southeast Asia, and appears to represent a particular subgroup of Hoplandrothrips with multiple, large, sensoria on the third antennal segment ( Fig. 21 ). These thrips live on dead branches, and E. tibialis , a highly variable species widespread in the Old World tropics, has been found in Queensland. FIGURES 19–24 . Phlaeothripinae genera.
