Teuchothrips ornatus
Bournier, 1993: 359
.
This species was described from the female
holotype
plus
ten females
and
seven males
, taken in the rolled leaves of
Hibbertia lucens
[
Dilleniaceae
] at Mont Koghi just north of
Noumea
,
New Caledonia
. The maxillary stylets are exceptionally long, and commonly cross over each other medially in the head (
Figs 4
,
5
). The vertex is extensively reticulate, the postoccipital ridge simple, and the pronotal anteromarginal setae very small with the posteroangular setae elongate. From the type series,
three female
and
two male
paratypes
were studied on loan from the
Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle
, Paris. In addition, a series of
eight females
and
14 males
more recently collected were studied.
These
were taken from the apical buds of an
Hibbertia
species on
Mont Do
, about
70km
northwest of
Noumea in April
, 2012 (LAM 5607).
