Description

Terthrothrips apterus Kudô

(Figs. 25, 26)

Terthrothrips apterus Kudô, 1978: 11.

Material examined. CHINA, Guangdong: 1 female and 1 male, Nanling National Nature Reserve (24°55'N, 113°00'E), 15.ix.2001, Zhiwei Li.

Distribution. China (Guangdong); Japan

Remarks. Described originally from Japan, this species has been reported from China (Wang & Tong 2011). This species is similar to T. ananthakrishnani Kudô with pronotal aa reduced, antennal segments III and IV each with 3 sense cones and fore tibiae with distinct tubercles on inner margin. However, antennal segment VIII is much shorter than segment VI, and the pelta trapezoidal with unconspicuous lobes laterally. In ananthakrishnani, antennal segment VIII is longer than segment VI, and the pelta hat-shaped with short lateral lobes.
