Anaphothrips sudanensis Trybom

This species is widespread in the subtropics and tropics (Mound & Masumoto 2009). It breeds on Poaceae, but is intercepted regularly during import inspections on other plants. Remarkably, the only interception in the Netherlands with larvae (3 larvae II) was on a consignment of Monstera, Araceae, imported from Israël, 14.viii.1997. From Ethiopia a single female was intercepted on 21.xii.2011, on Rosa —cut flower at an import firm in De Kwakel (J.G. de Zeeuw).
