Astrothrips asiaticus (Bhatti) View in CoL

( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 9–16 )

Most Astrothrips View in CoL species have two or three of the distal antennal segments fused, but in asiaticus View in CoL and strasseni View in CoL all eight antennal segments are clearly separated. This species has 8-segmented antennae with the sense cone on segments III–IV simple, and the male with U-shaped sternal pore plates. It was described originally ( Bhatti 1967) in a monobasic genus, Sempothrips but was subsequently transferred to Astrothrips View in CoL by Wilson (1975). Previously known only from western India, this species is here newly recorded from China.
