Liothrips hagai Okajima, 2006: 428 .

Described from Nagano, Honshu, Japan on Viburnum sieboldii leaves, this species is recorded from China for the first time with one female and one male from Yunnan. They are very similar in body shape and colouration of antennae, but the metanotal sculpture is a little different in the Yunnan specimens from the type specimens in Japan. The sculpture in Yunnan specimens is of longitudinal striae, but in Japanese specimens it comprises longitudinal reticulation ( Fig. 74 ).
