Cryptothrips pygus Mound, 1974a: 43 View in CoL

Described from a single female taken south of Adelaide, two further females have been studied from near Renmark in South Australia. The tube is sharply constricted near the anal ring, and some of the setae on tergites VIII and IX are very short and stout ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 1‒13 ). On tergite IX one stout pair is homologous with setae SB2 discussed above under Acallurothrips View in CoL but there is a second stout pair ventrolaterally, and setae S3 are also short and stout. As indicated in the original illustration, the posterior ocelli are confluent with the inner posterior margin of the compound eyes, and the only pair of pronotal major setae is the epimerals ( Fig. 20 View FIGURES 14‒22 ). The fore tarsal tooth of these females is very short and directed forwards not laterally ( Fig. 30 View FIGURES 23‒33 ). The fore wings are unusually broad and bear about 15 duplicated cilia.

Specimens studied. South Australia: Aldinga, holotype female, from Eucalyptus flowers, 3.xii.1967; Renmark District , 1 female in malaise trap, 18.xi.1998, 1 female in pitfall trap, 20.xii.1998 (in ANIC) .
