Thrips flavus Schrank View in CoL

( Figs. 104–108 View FIGURES 104–115 )

Female macroptera. Body including legs uniformly yellow; antennal segments I to II yellow, III to IV brown often with basal half pale, V yellow with distal third brown, VI brown often with basal fourth pale; VII to VIII brown; fore wings uniformly pale. Ocellar setae III just behind fore ocellus ( Fig. 104 View FIGURES 104–115 ). Antennae ( Fig. 105 View FIGURES 104–115 ) 7- or 8- segmented. Metascutum ( Fig. 106 View FIGURES 104–115 ) sculptured with longitudinal anastomosing striae except anteromedially, lines of sculpture not convergent to middle at posterior margin; median pair of setae far from anterior margin; CPS present. Fore wing first vein with seven basal and three distal setae. Abdominal tergites II with 4 lateral marginal setae; tergite VIII with posteromarginal comb complete; tergite IX with 2 pairs of CPS; sternites without discal setae; sternite I without microsetae anteromedially; sternite VII with S1 setae far from posterior margin; pleurotergites without discal setae and ciliate microtrichia.

Male macroptera. Body colour same as female. Antennal segment VI with more 20 setae. Abdominal tergite VIII ( Fig.107 View FIGURES 104–115 ) with a few posteromarginal comb medially; tergite IX with S1 setae slightly ahead of level of S2 setae and subequal length to S2 setae, slightly closer to S2 setae than each other; sternites III to VII each with an oblong pore plate ( Fig. 108 View FIGURES 104–115 ).

Comments. This species is the most abundant flower-living species in Japan and is widespread in the Palearctic region. It can be found on many kinds of plants from Hokkaido to Kyushu and Shikoku. This species can be distinguished relatively easily from other members of the genus by the position of ocellar setae III and antennal coloration .
