Enneothrips (Enneothripiella) fuscus Hood, 1954: 209 View in CoL .

Body color brown ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 1–16 ). Antennal segments I–II brown, III yellow, IV brown with light brown extreme base, V–IX brown ( Fig. 23 View FIGURES 17–34 ). Femora brown, except for base and apex of fore femora, and base of mid femora; tibiae yellow with base brown. Fore wing brown, with basal quarter pale ( Fig. 53 View FIGURES 44–59 ). Ocellar triangle with transverse lines of sculpture forming a few reticles with internal markings ( Fig. 33 View FIGURES 17–34 ), ocellar setae III just inside the triangle; posterior area of head transversely striate; mouth cone not surpassing prosternum. Mesonotum transversely striate with approximately 20 lines of sculpture. Pronotum transversely striate ( Fig. 33 View FIGURES 17–34 ). Metanotum transversely striate anteriorly and reticulate posteriorly, with markings inside reticles ( Fig. 43 View FIGURES 35–43 ). Abdominal tergites II–VII with around 20 transverse lines of sculpture on lateral thirds, with microtrichia arising from sculpture ( Fig. 61 View FIGURES 60–66 ), I and VIII with approximately six lines of sculpture, with microtrichia laterally; VII with posteromarginal comb of microtrichia incomplete medially. Male unknown.

Material studied. Lectotype female: Brazil. Pará: Corcovado (Marajó Island, near Breves ), on dead branches with leaves, 14.vii.1951 . Paralectotype females, collected with lectotype, five females (J.D.Hood & F.Camargo col.) ( USNM) .

Comments. This species remains known only from the type specimens collected in the state of Pará, Brazilian Amazon. It is remarkable for the long and developed microtrichia associated with the transverse lines of sculpture on abdominal tergites. Together with E. subtilis and E. fulbrightae , these are the only species with the ocellar triangle sculptured. The three species can be distinguished by the characters in the key above.
