Haplothrips fumipennis Priesner

Haplothrips fumipennis Priesner, 1933: 347

The female labelled “ Type ” has been examined, and this was collected from a leaf gall on Polygonum chinense at Tjibodas, Java, 2.vii.1920. It is a larger insect than H. certus , but it shares several character states with that species, including the position of the maxillary stylets in the head, the hooked fore tarsal tooth, the dark hind tarsi, and long slender sub-basal seta S3 on the fore wing. However, the major pronotal setae are much longer with apices less obviously capitate than in certus .

Measurements. Body length 1950. Head, length 220; postocular setae 60. Pronotum, length 160; width 270; major setae am 40, aa 50, ml 60, epim 90, pa 80. Fore wing sub-basal setae S1 60, S2 70, S3 100; with 10 duplicated cilia. Tergite IX setae S1 95, S2 90. Tube length 170.
