Description

Iotatubothrips kranzae Mound, Crespi & Tucker

Iotatubothrips kranzae Mound, Crespi & Tucker 1998: 11.

This species is known only from Western Australia, Murchison River crossing, where it was found inducing woody galls on stems of Casuarina obesa. It represents the only known example of genitalic dimorphism among Thysanoptera, in that the phallotheca of winged males is almost 50% longer than the phallotheca of wingless males.
