Heterothrips flavitibia Moulton 1932 View in CoL
Described from Brazil, this species was recorded from Argentina by De Santis (1963). Re-examination of these Argentinean specimens indicated that although they share many characters with flavitibia they differ in the colour of antennal segments I–V. According to the original description of flavitibia these segments should be clear, but in the specimens identified as flavitibia by De Santis only segment III is clear. Although, colour might vary between samples of the same species, it seems more likely that the De Santis specimens belong to an undescribed species. Considering that there is no host information and insufficient material for an appropriate description of this species, it is included in the key above as? flavitibia .
Material examined. ARGENTINA, Cuesta de Chancani, Córdoba to 1000 m, 8.xi.1961, 1 female collected by Mallo, in Museo de Ciencias Naturales de La Plata, identified by De Santis.
