Franklinothrips basseti
Mound & Marullo, 1998
: 944
The two females from which this species is known were taken from rainforest trees near Brisbane, Queensland,
Australia
[ANIC]. In body form it is one of the less welldeveloped antmimics in this genus, with uniformly dusky forewings (Fig. 21), and the abdomen brown and scarcely constricted at the base (
Fig. 4
).
