Compsothrips timur (Pelikan) View in CoL
( Figs 25–30 View FIGURES 25–30 )
Oedaleothrips timur Pelikan, 1961: 302 View in CoL .
This species was described from a single female taken in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Based on that detailed description and illustrations, the specimens listed below from Tashkent are here also identified as this species. Furthermore, two females and two males from Tibet, China are similar to the specimens from Tashkent except as follows: antennae brown with segment III yellow on basal 2/3 ( Fig. 26 View FIGURES 25–30 ), legs dark brown ( Figs 27, 28 View FIGURES 25–30 ), and metanotum brown on anterior 1/4 ( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 18–24 ). In contrast, the specimens from Tashkent have antennal segment III all yellow also basal half of IV ( Fig. 25 View FIGURES 25–30 ), the femora and tibiae are extensively yellow, and the whole of the metanotum is white ( Fig. 29 View FIGURES 25–30 ). Furthermore, the males from Tibet are larger with broad body and fore legs expanded ( Fig. 28 View FIGURES 25–30 ). However, no structural differences were observed, and the differences in body coloration are here interpreted as intraspecific variation. This species appears to be similar to C. sumatranus Priesner (1928) View in CoL in having the major setae on tergite IX capitate and shorter than the tube, but the description of that species states that the antennal segments are dark brown with only segment III yellow. It is possible that sumatranus View in CoL may be the same species as timur View in CoL , but the unique holotype from Sumatra was destroyed in 1943 during the partial destruction of the Hamburg Museum.
Specimens studied. China, Tibet, Chayu , 2 females and 2 males on grasses, 12.vii.2022 (Yanqiao Li) ( SNUT) ; Uzbekistan, Tashkent, Ohangaron , 2 females and 1 male, 24.ix.2018 (Jun Chen) ( SNUT) .
