Takethrips Nonaka & Jangvitaya

This genus comprises two species collected from unidentified bamboos and grasses in Thailand. T. bambusae has a stout and serrated ovipositor that does not extend to the apex of the abdomen, whereas in T. megas the ovipositor is very weakly sclerotised with no marginal serrations (Fig. 91). Another genus from Thailand and Japan, Yoshinothrips, is similar to Takethrips, but the three known species all have two pairs of long pronotal posteroangular setae, and the ovipositor is stout and boldly serrated (Mound & Ng, 2009).
