This highly characteristic Australian species with compact antennal segments is presumably host-specific on Raoiella , a genus of mites in the family Tenuipalpidae . It is the only member of Scolothrips known to be a predator of mites that are not members of the Tetranychidae . The metanotal sculpture ( Fig. 1 View FIGURES 1 – 8 ) is similar to that of asura , and different from other members of the genus. The pronotal chaetotaxy is variable, because the holotype has a single small seta on the right hand side just in front of the posterior margin; one paratype has a pair of such setae ( Fig. 1 View FIGURES 1 – 8 ); the other paratypes have no setae in this position. It is not clear if these setae are homologous with the pronotal discal setae of the sexmaculatus species-group.
