Comments. This species was collected form the leaves of Castanea crenata [ Fagaceae ] in Japan, and it was described as the third species of Desmidothrips ( Masumoto & Okajima 2019) . Although the type specimens were collected from plant leaves, it was collected from flowers in China, and the feeding habits of this species are not yet certain. Dr Masumoto reconfirmed that the female type specimens of A. japonicus also have the maxillary palp segment II subdivided.
