Hydatothrips Karny

Hydatothrips Karny, 1913: 281 . Type-species Hydatothrips adolfifriderici Karny.

As discussed above, the only character state used to distinguish this genus from Neohydatothrips is variable (Figs 6, 13, 36) and is possibly not a reflection of any phylogenetic relationship. Wang (2007) listed five genus-group names as synonyms of this genus. Corcithrips Bhatti had been erected for a single species in which the marginal setae arise submarginally on sternites II–VI as well as on sternite VII. Pyrothrips Bhatti was erected as a subgenus of Hydatothrips for a single species in which the tergal setae all arise on the discal area. Zonothrips Priesner was erected for a single species with 7-segmented antennae. In contrast to the decision by Wang (2007), two genera, Faureana Bhatti and Sariathrips Bhatti are here synonymised with Neohydatothrips .
