Macropterous Thripinae , with paired ctenidia on posterior abdominal terga. Antennae 8-segmented, sensoria on III–IV forked ( Fig. 3 ), segment I without dorso-apical setae. Head with 3 pairs of ocellar setae, pair III posterior to tangent joining posterior margins of hind ocelli ( Fig. 2 ); maxillary palps 3-segmented. Pronotum trapezoidal, two pairs of posteroangular setae. Mesonotum with no sculpture medially, median setae close to posterior margin. Metanotum reticulate medially, median setae at anterior margin, campaniform sensilla present ( Fig. 5 ). Fore wing first vein with setal row almost complete but distal four setae widely spaced ( Fig. 9 ); second vein setal row complete; clavus with five marginal and one discal setae; posterior cilia wavy. Fore femora slightly swollen, inner margin angulate medially, with pointed tubercle near base ( Fig. 6 ); fore tibiae each with two short, broadly rounded, bulbous modified setae ( Fig. 4 ). Tarsi 2-segmented. Prosternal basantra rugose, with no setae; ferna robust, complete medially ( Fig. 6 ); mesothoracic furca with spinula, metathoracic furca without spinula. Abdominal terga I–II without craspedum, V–VIII with narrow craspedum, median setae and campaniform sensilla wide apart ( Fig. 7 ); VIII with paired ctenidia anterolateral to spiracles, VI–VII with ctenidia terminating at median lateral marginal seta ( Fig. 7 ); sterna with 3 pairs of marginal setae, without discal setae; sternum VI with pair of small circular pore plates ( Fig. 8 ).
