623FC9262A08CA24FF5536C0FAC4FAA2.taxon	discussion	Comments: Thrips rosea sp. nov. is similar to Thrips himalayanus (Pelikan) but it can be differentiated by the presence of transverse striations on pronotal surface, forewings weakly shaded at base, antennal segments IV and basal ¼ of V yellow. In contrast, the pronotal surface smooth, forewing completely shaded, antennae dark except segment III in T. himalayanus.

Metanotum irregularly reticulate medially, median setae well behind anterior margin, campaniform sensilla present. Forewing first vein usually with 3 setae on distal half; clavus with terminal seta longer than subterminal seta. Abdominal tergite II with 3 lateral setae; abdominal tergite VIII with posteromarginal comb represented by a few teeth laterally; sternite II with 1 or 2 discal setae, III – VII with 15 – 25 discal setae in an irregular transverse row; pleurotergites with no discal setae.

623FC9262A08CA20FF5533D4FE9FFF45.taxon	discussion	Comments: Described originally from various sites in northern Australia, with one female from New Caledonia, this species has otherwise been found established only on the Hawaiian Islands (Mound et al. 2017). The single female listed above remained unidentified in the collections of J. S. Bhatti, but using the key to species of Thrips from Indian subregion (Bhatti 1980) it reached to T. longiceps. However, from that species it differs in the colour of the body, position of ocellar setae III, and number of antennal segments. Identified here as T. safrus based on the Mound and Masumoto key, this female represents a particularly unusual record of a species that is presumably non-endemic.	en	Tyagi, Kaomud, Pal, Shash, Sarma, Madhurima, Kumar, Vikas (2025): Identification key to the species of genus Thrips (Thysanoptera, Thripidae) from India with three new species and one new record.
