Scolothrips tenuipennis
zur
Strassen 1965
: 30
Described originally from a single male taken in the Canary Islands, both sexes have been studied (in SMF) from
Cape Verde
Islands (zur
Strassen, 1993
). Moreover, a single female (in ANIC) has been seen from Nairobi,
Kenya
, that seems likely to represent this unique species with its uniformly pale, non-banded, fore wings.
