Description

Heligmothrips Mound

Heligmothrips Mound, 1970: 453. Type species Trichothrips erinaceus Karny, 1920, by original designation.

Six species of thrips, all breeding only on Casuarina foliage, are placed in this genus, and these include five names transferred from Teuchothrips. Of these, Liothrips brevidens Hood and L. gracilior Hood were two of the six species that Hood (1919) included when describing Teuchothrips. The other three were described in Teuchothrips by Moulton (1968), but are now recognised as synonyms of three species in Heligmothrips that were originally described by Hood (1918) or by Karny (1920) (for details see Mound, 1996).
