Brachyurothrips Bagnall

( Figs 6, 7 , 35, 48 , 68 , 97 , 110 )

The only species in this genus, B. anomalus Bagnall , was described from the Ethiopian Region, but B. walteri that was described from Brazil and regarded as a pest of pepper (“? Capsicum sp.”) ( Lima 1956), is considered a synonym of B. anomalus . The antennae are 8-segmented, and segments III and IV have simple sense cones ( Fig. 35 ). The pronotum bears four pairs of prominent setae, the fore wing second vein bears only one seta ( Figs 6, 7 ), and abdominal segment IX is long ( Fig. 97 ). The male abdomen isconstricted basally on segment IX ( Fig. 7 ) and sternites III–VII have a long and slender pore plate ( Fig. 110 ). Brachyurothrips is closely related to Selenothrips , but has simple, not forked, sense cones on antennal segments III and IV.
