Teuchothrips soror (Hood)

(Figs 103–106)

Rhynchothrips soror Hood, 1918: 138 .

This species was transferred to the genus Teuchothrips in an account of the Liothrips species from Australia (Mound et al. 2023). It is known only from a single female that was collected by Girault in 1913, near Cairns in northern Queensland. Hood described this specimen as bearing a long, hooked tooth on the fore tarsus. Although macropterous, the pelta and metanotum of the holotype are unusually broad (Figs 105), such as would be expected in a micropterous individual. The images (Figs 103-106) are of the holotype in the USNM, Washington, and were kindly prepared by Elison Lima.
