Podothrips lucasseni (Krueger) Figs 2, 17

Phlaeothrips lucasseni Krüger, 1890: 105.

Remarks.

Described from Java on sugar cane, and widely distributed in Asia, this is the only Podothrips from China that is uniformly brown (Fig. 17). P. hawaiiensis from Hawaii and P. oryzae from Thailand were placed as synonyms of P. lucasseni by Ritchie (1974). This species was recorded by Okajima (1986) from China (Taiwan), and a female and a male from Guizhou Province have been examined here.
