Haplothrips jordani (Bagnall)

Zygothrips jordani Bagnall, 1909: 530

( Fig. 11 )

Although this species was said to be described from many specimens of both sexes, taken on Nias, Sumatra, only one male syntype was found to survive in the collections at the Natural History Museum, London ( Mound 1968). However, one female with the original data is available in the collections of the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt ( Fig. 11 ). As in H. imperatae , the maxillary stylets are unusually elongate, retracted to just anterior to the postocular setae and close together medially in the head. In contrast to H. imperatae , the pronotal major setae are shorter, and the antennal segments paler with segment III distinctly longer. The pronotal setae are light brown, the mid and hind tarsi are dark brown, and the fore tarsi of the female bear a slightly hooked tooth at the inner apex.

Measurements (syntype female). Body length 2300. Head, length 270; width 200; maxillary stylet separation 10; postocular setae 55. Pronotum, length 200; width 300; major setae am 25, aa 30, ml 35, epim 50, pa 45. Fore wing sub-basal setae S1 35, S2 50, S3 70; with 9 duplicated cilia. Tergite IX setae S1?, S2 85. Tube length 150.
