Drepanothrips Uzel, 1895 View in CoL

The only species in this genus is presumably European in origin, but has been recorded from Russia, Japan and North America. Known as a pest of grapevines in Europe and America, although not in Japan ( Masumoto & Okajima 2007), it lives on the leaves of Corylus and Quercus trees in Britain ( Mound et al. 1976). The species is unique among the Scirtothrips genus-group in having the three terminal antennal segments fused to produce a sixsegmented condition, and the male bears a pair of conspicuous drepanae laterally on the ninth tergite.
