Callococcithrips Mound & Wells View in CoL

Callococcithrips Mound & Wells, 2007: 58 View in CoL View Cited Treatment . Type species Rhynchothrips fuscipennis Moulton, 1968: 97 View in CoL , by original designation

This genus was erected for two species, one from eastern Australia and one from Western Australia. In these species, the maxillary stylets are unusually long and overlap medially in the head. Referred to the genus Teuchothrips View in CoL by Mound & Houston (1987: 18), the type species lives within the waxy covering of an eriococcid, on which it is presumed to be predatory ( Mound & Wells, 2007). The second species, Liothrips atratus Moulton View in CoL , is known only from a single female that was collected near Perth in 1931.
