Arorathrips Bhatti View in CoL
( Figs 23–24 View FIGURES 23 – 30 )
This New World genus currently includes eight species, but several other species described in Chirothrips should be transferred here ( Mound & Marullo, 1996). These species are distinguished by the reduction of the metasternal furca, such that the furcal pits are widely separated not close together medially ( Fig. 24 View FIGURES 23 – 30 ). One of these species, A. mexicanus , is now widespread on grasses throughout the tropics and subtropics, and Mound & Palmer (1972) provided an illustrated account, under the generic name Chirothrips , of the two Arorathrips species known from Australia ( A. mexicanus and A. spiniceps ). Larvae of species in these genera apparently always develop each within a single grass floret, and the few larvae that have been examined have such small legs that they seem to be effectively immobile.
