( Figs 15 View FIGURES 1–16 , 25 View FIGURES 17–34 , 35 View FIGURES 35–43 , 45, 55 View FIGURES 44–59 )

Female macroptera. Body bicolored, brown and yellow ( Fig. 15 View FIGURES 1–16 ). Antennal segments I–II brown, III yellow with light brown median area, IV base yellow and apex brown, V base yellow and apical third brown, VI–IX brown ( Fig. 25 View FIGURES 17–34 ). Femora and tibiae yellow. Head yellow medially and brown laterally. Fore wing with three brown bands (basal, median and sub-apical) and three yellow bands (sub-basal, median and extreme apical) ( Fig. 55 View FIGURES 44–59 ). Abdominal tergites II–VII light brown to brown medially,with lateral third yellow, segment VIII yellow, IX mostly yellow with posterior third light brown and X yellow. Ocellar triangle without sculpture, ocellar setae III just outside the triangle; posterior area of head transversely striate ( Fig. 35 View FIGURES 35–43 ); mouth cone not surpassing prosternum. Pronotum transversely striate ( Fig. 35 View FIGURES 35–43 ). Mesonotum transversely striate, about 20 lines of sculpture. Metanotum transversely striate anteriorly and reticulate posteriorly, a few internal markings between lines and reticles ( Fig. 45 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, VIII with complete comb of microtrichia.

Male. Unknown.

Measurements— holotype in microns: Body length 1450. Head length 75, width 137; Pronotum length 82, width 175. fore wing length 670; antennal segments I–IX length, respectively 25, 37, 50, 50, 42, 42, 15, 12, 15.

Etymology. The species is named after the gentilic adjective for Manaus, Amazonas capital, where the holotype was collected in a trap installed in the canopy of the Amazon forest.

Material studied. Holotype female: Brazil. Amazonas : Manaus, on YPT at 8m high, ZF2 Tower, Km 14, 10–21.xii.2018 (J.A.Rafael col.) ( INPA).

Comments. This species is similar to E. amazonicus and E. flavens in general appearance and bicolored tergite IX. However, the new species is unique among Enneothrips in its elongate antennal segments III–IV and threebanded coloration of the fore wing.
