Moundinothrips robustus
(Bhatti)
(
Fig. 12
)
The Only species in this genus has been knOwn frOm a single female cOllected in CibOdas BOtanic Gardens, BOgOr,
Java
. The species is similar in general appearance (
Fig. 12
) tO members Of the genus
Taeniothrips
, but the first antennal segment bears a pair Of dOrsO-apical setae, the prOnOtum has Only a single pair Of pOsterO-marginal setae, the mesO and the metasternal furca bOth have a well-develOped spinula, and sternite VII bears Only twO pairs Of marginal setae. These character states suggest that the
Taeniothrips
-like appearance is nOt an indicatiOn Of any systematic relatiOnship. The presence in
China
Of a species frOm
Java
is nOt particularly surprising, and further members Of the
Taeniothrips
cOmplex (MOund
et al
. 2012) are likely tO be discOvered in sOuthern
China
.
