Enneothrips (Enneothripiella) subtilis Hood, 1955: 136 View in CoL .

Body color brown ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 1–16 ). Antennal segments I–II brown, III brown with pale pedicel, IV brown with light brown extreme base, V–IX brown ( Fig. 26 View FIGURES 17–34 ). Fore femora light brown, mid femora brown with base light brown, hind femora brown; tibiae yellow with brown area medially. Fore wing brown, with basal quarter pale ( Fig. 56 View FIGURES 44–59 ). Ocellar triangle with transverse lines of sculpture, ocellar setae III just outside the triangle; posterior area of head transversely striate ( Fig. 36 View FIGURES 35–43 ); mouth cone reaching posterior region of prosternum. Pronotum transversely striate ( Fig. 36 View FIGURES 35–43 ). Mesonotum transversely striate, about 20 lines of sculpture. Metanotum transversely striate anteriorly and longitudinally striate posteriorly, forming some elongate undefined reticles, without internal markings ( Fig. 46 View FIGURES 44–59 ). Abdominal tergites II–VII with around 20 transverse lines of sculpture on lateral thirds; VII with posteromarginal comb of microtrichia incomplete medially. Male unknown.

Material studied. Holotype female: Trinidad, swept from grass, 1.iv.1915 (C.B.Williams col.) ( USNM).

Comments. This species is known only from the holotype, collected in Trinidad. It is very similar to E. fulbrightae but can be distinguished by the characters provided in the key above. There are fewer striae on head and ocellar triangle and the antennae are darker than fulbrightae . The striae on the ocellar triangle are particularly difficult to see, being visible only using DIC illumination.
