Azaleothrips perniger (Girault)

Glyptothrips perniger Girault, 1929: 2

This species was transferred to Azaleothrips despite the fact that it remains known from a single female on which few structural details can be seen (Mound & Tree 2014). However, the maxillary stylets are long and close together medially, the postocular setae are very short and more widely expanded than in any other known member of this genus, and antennal segments VII and VIII are completely fused. The single female was collected in January 1929 at Brisbane, Queensland.
