Diagnosis: Body brown to dark brown, legs paler; antennal segment III mainly yellow; forewings brown with base paler. Antennae 7­segmented; ocellar setae III arise on (or just outside) margins of ocellar triangle, ocellar region sometimes with faint transverse markings; postocular setae II minute. Pronotum with strong transverse markings, about 20 discal setae. Metanotum reticulate ( Figs 52, 53 View FIGURES 49–59 ), reticles without internal markings, median setae behind anterior margin, campaniform sensilla usually present. Forewing first vein with complete setal row; clavus with subterminal seta shorter than terminal seta. Abdominal tergite II with 3 (or 4) lateral margin setae; tergite VIII with comb absent; sternites III– VI with no discal setae.

Breeding: Collected from various flowers.

Distribution: Apparently widespread in South East Asia, but extending to India and to Okinawa ( Palmer, 1992), a single female has been studied from Australia. Collected in September 1959 at Millaroo on the Burdekin River, 100km west of Bowen, Queensland, this specimen is in poor condition. Moreover, in contrast to Javanese specimens identified as this species it lacks campaniform sensilla on the metanotum.

Relationships: This species is considered to be a member of the South East Asian

Thrips orientalis group ( Mound, 2005).
