Terthrothrips palmatus Wang & Tong, 2011: 64.

Material examined. Holotype (in SCAU). Female macroptera, CHINA, Hainan: Ledong, Jianfengling National Nature Reserve (18°44'24"N, 108°51'48"E), 31.x.1986, Xiaoli Tong. Paratypes (in SCAU). CHINA, Hainan: 2 males, Wuzhishan National Nature Reserve (18°54'N, 109°40'E), 7.xii.2008, Jun Wang. 1 female and 1male, Diaoluoshan Nature Reserve (18°43'N, 109°52'E), 5.xii.2008, Wang Jun.

Distribution. China (Hainan).

Remarks. This species apparently remains known only from the type material taken from leaf-litter in Hainan, a tropical island of China (Wang & Tong, 2011). This species is easily separated from other members of the genus by the long and stout pronotal am setae with expanded apex.
