Ajothrips Bhatti, 1967 View in CoL

Three species are described in this genus, all from India. Masumoto & Okajima (2007) excluded the genus from the Scirtothrips genus-group, but the chaetotaxy of the fore wing is similar to that of Scirtidothrips , and the dorsal split on tergite X is very short and not always clearly defined. The most obvious difference from the species in the other genera discussed here is the presence of a pair of campaniform sensilla medially on the ninth tergite.
