Comments.

This species was described originally from Java, Indonesia, but was considered a member of Idolothripinae within the invalid genus ' Cercothrips ' because of the large size body (Hood, 1919). After comparing the type specimens, the species was identified as belonging to the Phlaeothripinae as a species of Gigantothrips by Mound (1968). A female and a male are studied here, taken on Planchonia valida in Java by Mound in 1973. It is similar to G. yunnanensis sp. nov. in body sculpture and the colour pattern of legs, but they can be differentiated in the above key.
