Sericothrips fimbriatus Hood, 1954: 200 View in CoL .

Female macroptera. Colour: body strongly bicoloured ( Fig. 91 View FIGURES 80 – 91 ), brown on head, mesonotum, metanotum, tergites II–IV and VII–VIII, tergite IX light brown, X yellow, pronotum pale with blotch yellowish; fore wing dark with pale band sub-basally and at apex, clavus dark with pale setae; antennal segments I–II pale, III–IV pale at base; hind tibiae yellow in contrast to dark brown femora.

Material studied. Holotype female, BRAZIL, Santa Catarina State, Nova Teutônia [Seara], ii. 1950 ; 1 female from Sapium sp., 1.xii.1949; 12 females, 1 male from Capoeira , 18–20.x.1949 (F. Plaumann) ( USNM).
