Description

Astrothrips tumiceps Karny

(Figs 13, 21)

Described from Java, Indonesia, this species is recorded widely across Southeast Asia from India to Japan and northern Australia (Rachana et al. 2019). It is here recorded in China for the first time. The anterior half of the mesonotum in this species is clearly divided into two by a deep notch (Fig. 21). Antennal segments III–IV of males have the sense cone forked but in female these sense cones are simple (Kudo 1995).

Material studied. CHINA, Yunnan Province, Xishuangbanna tropical botanical garden, 4 females and 1 male from Moringa oleifera, 1 female from Ficus championii, 1 female from Sarcandra glabra, 11.iii.2017 (Zhang Hong-rui, Li Ya-jin).
