Franklinothrips atlas Hood 1957

Description

Franklinothrips atlas Hood, 1957: 172

Described from a single female taken in the eastern Congo [USNM], four females have subsequently been studied from Rwanda [SMF]. The head is deeply recessed into the prothorax, resulting in a single compact spherical outline that is sharply constricted to the basal neck (Fig. 3). Unlike F. megalops, the tenth abdominal segment is not sharply paler than the ninth segment.
