Azaleothrips taiwanus Okajima & Masumoto, 2014: 342.

Comments.

Described from Taiwan on dead branches, this species was not satisfactorily distinguished from another Taiwan species, A. atayal , in the original description ( Okajima and Masumoto 2014). The only difference between these two species is the presence or absence of many small tubercles in the reticulation of head and pronotum, as indicated in the above key.
