Liothrips hsuae Wang & Lin View in CoL
Liothrips hsuae Wang & Lin, 2020: 362 View in CoL View Cited Treatment .
Described from Taiwan on Ficus sp. , this species was stated to be similar to L. piperinus View in CoL , but it seems to be more similar to L. kuwayamai View in CoL in body shape and coloration. Both of them have a complete mesopresternum with median protrusion, although in Liothrips species this sclerite is usually eroded medially or divided into two lateral triangles. Wang and Lin (2020) indicated that these two species might be distinguished by length of pronotal am, which was minute in L. kuwayamai View in CoL but well-developed in L. hsuae View in CoL . However, the redescription of L. kuwayamai View in CoL from Okajima (2006) based on 131 females including the holotype showed that both am and aa setae on the pronotum were well-developed, and no other features were found to differentiate these species. Therefore, L. hsuae View in CoL is possibly a synonym of L. kuwayamai View in CoL and is excluded from the key given above.
