Neocorynothrips asiaticus Ramakrishna & Margabandhu View in CoL

Neocorynothrips asiaticus Ramakrishna & Margabandhu, 1939: 22 View in CoL .

This species was described from India, but a second species in the genus, N. bruncurrum (Reyes) View in CoL , was described from seven males taken on plants of the Araceae View in CoL , Moraceae View in CoL and Solanaceae View in CoL in The Phillipines. No females are known of this species, and the differences between the two species are unclear. Bhatti (2000), based on the original description of bruncurrum View in CoL , distinguished the species in a key using the colour of antennal segment VI and the fore wing. The specimen listed below is identical with asiaticus View in CoL in fore wing having undulating posteromarginal fringes, metascutum having transverse sculpture, and the head with anastomosing striae on the vertex. This is the first record of this species other than from India.

Specimen examined. Vietnam, Haquqng District, Cao Ban Province, 1 female on bamboo, 3-viii-2000, S. Okajima.
