Chirothrips priesneri Hood 1949a: 146.
Distribution: Brazil.
Comments: Mound and Marullo (1996)stated that this species resembled C. ruthae Hood (1949b)and belonged in a new genus. According to zur Strassen (1961), ruthaewas similar to his new species C. madagassus, which Bhatti (1990)designated as the typespecies of Oelschlaegera. Chirothrips ruthaeis assigned here to Oelschlaegera(New Combination) based on the examination of the holotype. The females of O. priesnerihave similar antenna, head, conical setae, fore wing and broad tergal and sternal posteromarginal flanges as the description and illustration of O. madagassusand holotypeof O. ruthae. Oelschlaegera priesnerifemales have glandular areas on abdominal sternites III–VI which are absent from the other two species.
