This is the largest urothripine genus, with 30 named species in the world (ThripsWiki 2017). Nearly 70% of these species are known from Asia, particularly Southeast Asia ( Kudô 1978, 1989; Okajima 1976, 1982, 1989, 1994, 2006; Okajima & Urushihara 1995), although some are from southern USA, and one from South Africa. With the new species described here, five species of Stephanothrips View in CoL are now known from China ( Okajima 1976; Wang & Tong 2007; Dang & Qiao 2014).
