Azaleothrips siamensis Okajima.

Identified here from the original description and key to species (Okajima and Masumoto 2014), this thrips was found on dead branches in considerable numbers on Hawaii. It was collected in July 2016 from recently felled trees at USDA PBARC in Hilo, in lower Puna, and also in the forest at Kipuka Ki, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park . These specimens have the color, chaetotaxy, and sculpture character states of siamensis (Fig. 8), although the mouth cone appears to be rather shorter in not extending across the mesosternum.
