Female. Body dark brown to black, shining; appendages generally brown to dark brown except F1 white. Head with vertexal suture a little sinuate. Antenna (Fig. 15) with scape relatively slender, a little wider in basal half than in distal half, about 4.5 x as long as wide; pedicel slightly longer than wide and about as long as F1 or F2; flagellar segments with numerous long setae and sensilla; F2 a little wider than F1, clava about 2 x as long as wide, about equal to combined length of funicle segments. Midlobe of mesoscutum with 2 pairs of setae. Forewing (Fig. 16) relatively wide, about 2.5 x as long as wide; longest marginal setae about 3/10 maximal width of forewing; disc hyaline, bare in basal 2/5 of the wing and densely setose distad of about mid-level of marginal vein. Hind wing about 7 x as long as wide, with about 3-4 irregular rows of setae. Coxae smooth. Petiole trapezoidal in dorsal view, about as long as wide. Ovipositor not exserted, occupying about 3/5 length of gaster; ovipositor length/metatibia length ratio about 1.2:1. Male. Unknown. Type material examined:  3 female? syntypesof  T. bicoloratuswere deposited in the collection of the Imperial Agricultural Experiment Station( Ishii 1933) but as of now are lost ( Loomans& van Lenteren1995).  Lectotypefemale of  T. gaussion a slide [MHNG], here designated to avoid possible confusion regarding the status of the type specimens of this species, labelled as follows: 1. “ AllemagneWittental X.1957- Gauss Ex.  Liothrips setinodis”; 2.“ Entedoninae:  Thripoctenoides gaussi n. sp.Ch. Ferrière.”; 3. “[red]  Thripoctenoides gaussiFerrière LECTOTYPE^ Des. by S. Triapitsyn 2002”; 4. “  Entedonomphale bicolorata(Ishii)^ Det. S. Triapitsyn 2004”. Paralectotypesof  T. gaussi(here designated): 3 femaleson 2 slides [MHNG] and 1 femaleon point [BMNH], same original label data as on the lectotypeslide. An additional non-type slide in MHNG (same original labels as the lectotype) contains several pupae of  T. gaussias well as remains of the host.The type locality of  T.gaussiis in Schwarzwald, Baden-Württemberg, Germany: Ichenheim/Lahr according to Ferrière (1958) but Wittental (?Stegen-Wittental) according to the labels on the original cotype slides. Other material examined: JAPAN:  Shimane Pref.(Honshu Island): Izumo (“Host:  Liothrips wasabiaeHaga et Ok.”): em. 1.iv.1990, T.

Murai, 8^ (“ex.  Liothrips wasabiaeon Japanese horse reddish”) [UCRC]. Distribution: Japan, Germany, and Ukraine(Loomans & van Lenteren 1995, as  E. gaussi). Hosts: Various Phlaeothripidaelisted by Loomans and van Lenteren (1995) for  Entedonastichus gaussias well as  Liothrips wasabiaeHaga & Okajima(T. Murai pers. comm.; Loomans & van Lenteren 1995) and also an unidentified thrips species ( Ishii 1933). Comments: The examined specimens from Japanand Germanyare identical, hence this obvious synonymy of  T. gaussiunder  E. bicolorata.
