( Figs 22–25 View FIGURES 22–25 )

Holopothrips ananasi View in CoL Costa Lima, 1935b: 43.

Diagnostic features. Body (except antenna) uniformly brown; head long with well-defined reticulate sculpture, maxillary stylets retracted to compound eyes and touching medially; two pairs of long setae on epimeral region; metanotal sculpture formed by well-defined equiangular reticles; pelta with long lateral wings; males with pore plates on sternites VII–VIII, a transverse band posterior to discal setae on VII and three plates on VIII; female spermatheca enlarged medially.

Comments. Originally described as a pest in pineapple, based on two collections in Southeastern Brazil from damaged leaves of the plant. The head of this species is unusual in being longer than wide, bearing small and welldefined equiangular reticulation dorsally ( Fig. 22 View FIGURES 22–25 ) and having maxillary stylets extending anteriorly to the posterior margin of eyes and touching medially ( Fig. 22 View FIGURES 22–25 ). Larvae are yellow but with extensive red internal pigmentation.

Material studied. 1 male and 1 female paratypes; Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Deodoro , in Ananas sativus , 15.vii.1933 (Silva, A.), at NMNH ; Cotype, 1 male, Brazil, code 1203, at BMNH .
