Description

Bamboosiella nayari (Ananthakrishnan)

(Figs 5, 16, 51, 63)

Xylaplothrips nayari Ananthakrishnan, 1958: 278.

Antillothrips nayari (Ananthakrishnan): Pitkin, 1976: 235.

Described from Trivandrum, India collected on the leaf sheaths of bamboo, this species was newly combined to Bamboosiella nayari by Okajima (1995b). In China, Zhang (1984) recorded it from Hainan Province for the first time, and then Sha et al. (2003) recorded again based on Zhang’s specimens. In this study, five females and three males from Yunnan and one female from Guangdong are recognised as nayari, which is closely related to flavescens, and their differences are discussed in the key.

Material studied. CHINA, Yunnan: 5 females and 3 males from bamboo, 20.xi.1988, Yun-fa Han; Guangdong: 1 female from bamboo, 31.iii.1958.

Distribution. China (Guangdong, Yunnan, Hainan), India.
