Liothrips vitivorus (Priesner) View in CoL

( Figs 84–89 View FIGURES 84–89 )

Smerinthothrips vitivorus Priesner, 1935: 364 View in CoL . Nomen novum for Gynaikothrips claripennis View in CoL of Moulton, 1928b: 308, not Karny, 1916.

Female macroptera. Body length 1.8–2.5 mm. Color brown, antennal segment I as dark brown as head, II dark brown in basal half and yellow in distal half, III–VII yellow, VIII yellow or lightly shaded with greyish brown; fore femora brown, fore tibiae yellow, mid and hind femora and tibiae brown with distal ends of tibiae yellow; all tarsi yellow; fore wings hyaline, base and margins greyish yellow; major body setae brown.

Head 1.5 times as long as wide ( Fig. 84 View FIGURES 84–89 ), po setae variable in length, always shorter than eyes; maxillary stylets retracted into posterior fourth of head, moderately separated; antennal segments III and IV each 1.3 times as long as segment II ( Fig. 89 View FIGURES 84–89 ). Pronotal am setae very short and weak, aa setae also short but a little stronger ( Fig. 85 View FIGURES 84–89 ); mesopresternum boat-shaped, median with irregular separated parts ( Fig. 86 View FIGURES 84–89 ); metanotal sculpture dense and longitudinal; pelta triangular, without CPS ( Fig. 87 View FIGURES 84–89 ); tergite II laterally with 2–3 accessary setae ( Fig. 88 View FIGURES 84–89 ); tube shorter than head.

Specimens examined. Taiwan, Taihoku (Taipei), 1 female from Vitex sp., 20.xi.1925 (Takahashi) ; Xinshe (Taichung), 10 females, 2 males from Hemsley’s Rockvine ( Tetrastigma ) ( Vitaceae ), 22.viii.2002 .

Comments. Gynaikothrips claripennis Karny , described from Java, was recorded from Taiwan by Moulton (1928a), based on specimens taken with the female listed above from Vitex on 20.xi.1925. Priesner (1968) recognized this misidentification and proposed the new name, L. vitivorus , for these specimens.
