Frankliniella invasor Sakimura View in CoL ( Fig. 38 View Figure 38 )

Diagnosis. The thinner apical dorsal setae of the antennal segment II ( Fig. 38B View Figure 38 ) and saucer-shaped pedicel of antennal segment III ( Fig. 38C View Figure 38 ) distinguishes this species from the similar F. funderburki .

Distinguishing features. Color. Body, forewings, legs pale. Abdominal tergites often with darker anteromedial shading and/or small dark anteroangular blotches ( Fig. 38A View Figure 38 ). Pigmented ventral eye facets with the 0-1-2 pattern. Structure. Antennal segment II dorsal apical setae similar in thickness to the same setae on segments III–V ( Fig. 38B View Figure 38 ). Antennal segment III with a basal oval collar surmounted by narrow disc with acute lateral angles, pedicel saucer-shaped with acute lateral angles ( Fig. 38C View Figure 38 ). Head with the PO1 setae, OC3 setae in position 2B ( Fig. 38D View Figure 38 ). Pronotum usually with 4 mAM setae ( Fig. 38D View Figure 38 ). Upper surface of the hind coxae with microtrichia. Abdominal tergite VIII posteromarginal comb complete.

Interception frequency. Uncommon.

Region(s) of interceptions. North America, Central America and the Caribbean.

Comments. Described from specimens collected in Hawaii and Puerto Rico F. invasor is speculated to have originated from the Caribbean-Central American region ( Sakimura 1972).
