Holopothrips balteatus Hood

Holopothrips balteatus Hood, 1955: 141 .

This species, originally described from Southern Brazil, was not examined in this work. It is one of four Holopothrips species with the body mostly brown but having few abdominal segments pale, with only the pelta and abdominal segment II being yellow in H. balteatus . The key in Mound & Marullo (1996) differentiates this species from H. pictus by the size of postocellar setae and metanotal reticulation, and this step has been repeated in the key presented here.
