This species is similar to Androthrips monsterae (Moulton, 1940) in having all tibiae and tarsi yellow, with the mid and hind femora brown. It differs, however, in the following characters: dorsal surface of head smooth; pronotal aa setae much shorter than ml setae; metanotum with only one pair of median setae; tergites III–VIII smooth. Unlike other Androthrips species, which are associated with leaf galls induced by other insects, A. huanglianensis was collected on aerial roots of bamboo, together with a large population of Bamboosiella .

Syn. nov.</p><p>This species was originally described from two females and one male collected on leaves of Monstera deliciosa in Koitaki, New Guinea. Moulton (1940) placed it in the genus Podothrips based on the armature of the fore legs, but Ritchie (1974) transferred it to Androthrips after examining a paratype female. The species has subsequently been recorded from Australia (Mound &amp; Minaei 2007) and from Guangdong, China (Zhao et al. 2015). Sha et al. (2003) described A. guiyangensis as a new species from Guizhou, China, comparing it only with A. ramachandrai . However, as noted by Zhao et al. (2015), A. guiyangensis is very similar to A. monsterae . In the original description, Sha et al. (2003) stated that the pronotal anteroangular setae were reduced and the anteromarginal setae well developed, with the pronotum fully sculptured with transverse reticulation. Examination of two paratype females, however, shows the opposite condition: the pronotal anteroangular setae are well developed, the anteromarginals are reduced to small setae, and the pronotal dorsal surface is almost smooth, lacking sculpture (Fig. 20). As there is no significant morphological difference between A. monsterae and A. guiyangensis, the latter is here placed in synonymy with the former. Androthrips monsterae can be readily distinguished from A. crus and A. ramachandrai by having all tarsi clear yellow.</p><p>Specimens examined.

It is now widely distributed across the world, and is usually found within leaf galls induced by Gynaikothrips species on Ficus trees. It preys on the immature stages of these galling thrips. Laboratory studies indicate no strong preference for different immature stages of G. uzeli, although adults consumed more eggs than larvae or pupae (Melo et al. 2013).</p><p>Specimens examined. 1 female macroptera, CHINA, Yunnan, Kunming City, Chenggong District, from Ficus, 08.VIII.2010, collected by Lijuan Zhang ; 4 females macropterae, CHINA, Yunnan, Kunming City, Panlong District, from Ficus, 18.VII.2012, collected by Lijuan Zhang.</p><p>FIGURES 21–23.
