Haplothrips lyndi View in CoL sp. nov.
Female macroptera. Body colour light brown to brown, tarsi yellow, tibiae yellow washed with brown on external margins, fore femora yellow distally, antennal segment III and base of IV yellow, remaining segments brown; major setae and fore wing pale. Head longer than wide ( Figure 52 View Figures 48–58 ), maxillary stylets about one-third of head width apart, retracted to postocular setae, maxillary bridge complete; postocular setae capitate, extending beyond posterior margin of compound eyes. Antennal segment III with two sensoria, IV with three sensoria; segment VIII broad at base. Pronotum with five pairs of long capitate setae. Mesonotal lateral setae capitate. Metanotum weakly reticulate medially, median setae arise on anterior half of sclerite. Mesopresternum transverse. Fore tarsal tooth small. Fore wing with one or no duplicated cilia, sub-basal setae capitate. Tergite II with no discal setae lateral to wing-retaining setae; tergites II–VII with posteromarginal setae S1 long and capitate; tergite IX setae S1 long and slender but weakly capitate, S2 blunt.
Measurements of holotype female (in M m). Body length 1680. Head, length 158; median width 126; postocular setae 32. Pronotum, length 108; width 220; major setae am 24, aa 22, ml 24, epim 46, pa 42. Fore wing length 620; sub-basal setae 34, 40, 50. Tergite IX setae S1 68, S2 74, S3 70. Tube length 60; basal width 28; anal setae 124. Antennal segments III–VIII length 46, 42, 42, 40, 40, 24.
Material examined
Holotype ♀ macroptera: Queensland, 40 Mile Scrub , beaten from shrubs, 3 July 1995 (LAM 2704) . Paratypes: 2♀ taken with holotype. Northern Territory, Lichfield Park , 1♀ from dead twigs, 13 May 1999.
Comments
The shape of the head and antennal segment III ( Figure 52 View Figures 48–58 ), also the long capitate pronotal setae, resemble ‘‘ Bagnalliella nigricoxa Girault’’ that was referred to the genus Haplothrips by Pitkin (1973). However, the single specimen on which that species is based has only one sensorium on the third antennal segment, and a long basal stem to the fourth segment ( Figure 1 View Figures 1–15 ). In contrast, H. lyndi is probably related to the widespread Haplothrips bituberculatus .
