Description

Bradinothrips musae (Hood)

(Figs 7, 15)

Body color pale. Dorsal setae long with roundly expanded apex (Fig. 15). Head setae D1 inserted anteriorly to setae D4 (Fig. 15). Antennal segment III with setae about 2/3 shorter than the length of the segment (Fig. 7). Pronotum with no sclerotized blotch. Abdominal tergite II with a pair of spiracles; segment X with six anal setae with expanded apex, shorter and slender than other body setae, about 1/3 shorter than length of the segment. This species resembles P. dracaenae, but can be distinguished by the characters in the key. Larvae have been collected from banana crops, on which the species is considered a pest (Lima et al. 2020), in the states of São Paulo and Santa Catarina, Brazil.
