Holopothrips paulus Mound & Marullo View in CoL

( Fig. 210 View FIGURES 204–211 )

Holopothrips paulus Mound & Marullo, 1996: 299 View in CoL .

Diagnostic features. Body mostly yellow, with head and abdominal segments VIII–X fully brown; maxillary stylets parallel; labial palps reduced; one pair of long setae on epimeral region; metanotal sculpture formed by equiangular to slightly elongate reticles; males with three pore plates on sternites VII–VIII, the posterior plate on VIII extending towards tergite; female spermatheca not enlarged.

Comments. This sharply bicoloured species is a distinctive member of the genus. The antennal segments I–II, basal third of III and apical half of VII are dark brown. Males have pore plates on sternites VII–VIII, with paired anteroangular plates and one transverse area on VIII that extends onto the tergite as in H. inversus and H. tabebuia . It was described from one female and two males collected in dead twigs in Costa Rica. It is possibly close to some other bicoloured Holopothrips from Central America, such as H. inquilinus , H. porrosati and H. tabebuia .

Material studied. Female holotype and 1 male paratype; Costa Rica, Zurquí, 15 km NE of San José, in dead Rubus fruticosus stems, 7.ix.1991, at BMNH. Slides with code “ LAM 2115”.
