Menothrips Hood, 1957: 175 View in CoL . Type species: Menothrips ebriosus Hood View in CoL , by monotypy.
Based on a single species from southern Brazil that was subsequently recorded from Martinique, this genus also includes a second very similar species known only from Sabah. Related to the Plectrothrips View in CoL genus-group, Menothrips species are distinguished by the presence of a tooth on the distal half of the inner margin of the fore femora.
Diagnosis: Head long; eyes normal, postocular setae long; stylets wide apart, low in head; antennae 8- segmented, II with sensorium on basal half of segment, III and IV each with 2 sensoria; pronotum with epimeral setae long, other major setae well-developed, notopleural sutures complete; basantra present; mesopresternum?; sternopleural sutures?; fore tarsal tooth large; fore wings parallel-sided, with duplicated cilia, only one sub-basal seta; pelta triangular; tergites II–VII with 2 pairs of wing-retaining setae; tube shorter than head, with straight sides.
