Heptathrips Moulton View in CoL

Heptathrips Moulton. 1942: 3 View in CoL . Type-species H. tonnoiri Moulton View in CoL , by monotypy.

Five species from New Zealand are recognized in this genus ( Mound & Walker, 1986), together with two species from South Africa and one from Saudi Arabia. These eight species exhibit considerable differences in the length of the tube, but they are essentially similar in the form of the head, thorax and antennae. The New Zealand species that is recorded from Australia has the tube shorter than any other member of the genus.
