Leptothrips singularis Hood View in CoL

Leptothrips singularis Hood, 1941: 149 View in CoL .

Described from three females and five males collected at Pine Key, Florida, this species is similar to pini View in CoL but has the pronotum and hind tibiae paler. These two both have only two sense cones on antennal segment IV, but both are known from too few specimens to be sure that this character state is constant. A further species from Florida that is similar in structure and lacks sculpture lines across the pronotum is cassiae View in CoL .
