Mesandrothrips darci (Girault) comb.n.

(Figs 6, 18)

Haplothrips darci Girault, 1930: 1 . Described from a single female taken near Brisbane (Pitkin 1973), no further specimens of this species have been found. Antennal segment III of this holotype is unusually short (Fig. 18), segments IV–VI are scarcely paler at the base, and the mesopresternum is fully divided into lateral triangles (Fig. 6). Apart from these states, this specimen is very similar to specimens of M. inquilinus .

Material studied. Australia, Queensland, Indooroopilly, holotype female of darci, in window, iv.1930 (in QM) .
