Holoengythrips turcoae View in CoL sp.n.
( Figs 42 View FIGURES 34–42 , 49 View FIGURES 43–54 , 70 View FIGURES 63–72 )
Male microptera: Body, legs and antennae brown, fore tarsi paler, also extreme basal quarter of antennal segment III; tube brown paler distally; major setae brown to dark brown. Head long, slender ( Fig. 42 View FIGURES 34–42 ), dorsal surface without sculpture except behind eyes, ocelli small; cheek setae small, postocular setae longer than eye length with flattened, recurved apices; mouth cone not extending to ferna. Antennal segment III with 3 sensoria, IV with 4; VI–VII with parallel-sided pedicel, VIII slightly constricted at base. Pronotum transverse, with median apodeme but no sculpture, 4 pairs of major blunt to weakly capitate setae, am minute. Fore femora slightly swollen, fore tibia with minute ventro-apical tubercle, also with subapical rounded tubercle bearing a seta on inner dorsal margin; fore tarsal tooth as long as tarsal width; fore coxae with short stout setae. Mesonotal setae small, mesothoracic spiracular area protruding laterally ( Fig. 49 View FIGURES 43–54 ); metanotum with one pair of small major setae, without sculpture medially. Fore wing lobe small, without major setae. Prosternal ferna scarcely meeting medially; mesoeusternal margin narrow, mesopresternum of three small sclerites; metathoracic sternopleural sutures weak. Pelta with rounded anterior margin and short lateral wings; tergites weakly sculptured, with two pairs of short straight wingretaining setae; major setae bluntly pointed to weakly capitate; tergite IX setae S1 bluntly pointed, setae iS longer than short stout S2. Anal setae shorter than tube. Sternites with one row of about 12 small discal setae; sternites III–IV with paired areas of scarcely visible reticulation; VIII with transverse pore plate across middle of sclerite ( Fig. 70 View FIGURES 63–72 ).
Measurements (holotype male in microns). Body length 2000. Head, length 270; median width 170; postocular setae 105. Pronotum, length 135; median width 250; major setae: am 6, aa 50, ml 35, epim 50, pa 30. Fore wing lobe 35. Tergite IX setae: 100, iS 50, S2 30. Tube length 135. Antennal segments III–VIII length 70, 60, 55, 50, 45, 30.
Female microptera: Similar to male in colour and structure except, fore tarsal tooth absent; postocular setae capitate and straight; coxal stout setae smaller; mesoeusternal margin transverse; tergite IX setae S1 and S2 bluntly pointed; sternites without reticulate areas or pore plate.
Measurements (paratype female in microns). Body length 2200. Tergite IX setae: S1 85, iS 60, S2 100.
Material studied. Holotype male microptera, Queensland, Mt Bartle Frere , from bark spray, 19.xi.2009 (Monteith & Turco).
Paratypes: 4 female micropterae taken with holotype.
Non-paratype: Bulburin, [120km NW of Bundaberg], 1 female macroptera, from bark spray, 11.vii.2012.
Comments. The macropterous female listed from Bulburin is possibly this species, but has a very tiny fore tarsal tooth, and the pelta lacks posterolateral wings.
