Psilothrips pardalotus Hood, 1927: 198.

Remarks.

As recognised by O’Neill (1960), the metanotal sculpture of this species is diagnostic (Fig. 6), and the major pronotal posteroangular setae are about 30 µm long. The species is recorded from Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Utah, and appears to be associated with Sarcobatus vermiculatus . In contrast to Psilothrips priesneri , the abdominal pleurotergites lack discal setae, and tergite IX lacks discal microtrichia.
