Holopothrips affinis (Bagnall)

Phrasterothrips affinis Bagnall, 1924: 633 .

This Brazilian species was not studied in this work. In its original description, H. affinis is considered close to H. omercooperi, being distinguished mostly by having shorter head, longer postocular setae and reduced am setae, besides few other minute differences (Bagnall 1924). Mound & Marullo (1996) distinguished these two species by the occurrence of male pore plates, which are present on sternites VI–VIII in H. affinis but only in sternite VIII in H. omercooperi .
