Species-richness in Neotropical Sericothripinae (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) Author Lima, Élison Fabrício B. Author Mound, Laurence A. text Zootaxa 2016 4162 1 1 45 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.4162.1.1 e369a54d-eaac-4bda-97c6-00b28be9b359 1175-5326 263866 92A1EA19-4981-4BB4-B5BC-6EF7473F7257 Neohydatothrips signifer (Priesner) Sericothrips signifer Priesner, 1932 : 172 . Described from Mexico , this species was considered a senior synonym of burungae by Mound and Marullo (1996) . The name signifer has been used for specimens from other South American areas, such as Colombia ( Santos et al . 2012), presumably based on the available identification key ( Mound & Marullo 1996 ), although Hoddle et al . (2002) used the name burungae for specimens collected from avocado leaves in Mexico and Guatemala. At present it is not possible to decide whether the names signifer and burungae refer to one or to two species.
