Astrothrips globiceps
(Karny)
(
Figs 5, 6
,
10
)
Described from the island of
New Britain
,
Papua New Guinea
(
Karny 1913
), this species is recorded widely across southeast Asia from
India
to
Japan
and the
Philippines
(
Rachana et al. 2019
). However, the identity of
globiceps
has been difficult to establish, due to confusion created by
Wilson (1975)
in placing the species twice in his key to species, but without comment or explanation in his main text. It was keyed as either having, or as not having, a submarginal ridge near the pronotal posterior margin. Photographs of the pronotum of Karny’s original specimen have been studied, and
globiceps
is now diagnosed as having a small transverse ridge that extends across only the median third of the pronotal posterior submargin (
Rachana et al. 2019
). These authors also referred to a male from Timor Leste as having U-shaped sternal pore plates (
Fig. 5
), and this condition is here confirmed by the specimens listed below that newly record
globiceps
from Southern
China
in
Hainan
and
Yunnan
Provinces.
