Selenothrips rubrocinctus (Giard)

( Figs 5 , 42 )

Body color yellow with abdominal segments III–IV pale with red internal pigment; head and pronotum sometimes light brown ( Fig. 5 ). Antennal segment III with setae slightly shorter than the length of the segment. Dorsal setae with acute apex. Pronotum with no sclerotized blotch. Abdominal tergite II with no spiracles; segment IX sclerotized laterally, X—strongly sclerotized; segment X with six anal setae about 3x longer than the length of the segment ( Fig. 42 ). Immatures of this polyphagous species have been collected from several states and hosts from Brazil, such as Liquidambar styraciflua and Theobroma cacao (CHNUFPI) .
