Malesiathrips View in CoL

Four species are listed in this genus, and of these one from Guam and another from the Solomon Islands are readily distinguished ( Palmer & Mound, 1978). In contrast, M. australis Mound , based on apterae from northern Australia, is closely similar to M. malayensis Palmer & Mound , based on macropterae from Peninsular Malaysia and Java. Both of these species live on the dead spiny branches of Calamus species , the climbing rattan palms.
