Senithrips Mound & Minaei View in CoL

The single minute, usually wingless, species in this genus, S. psomus , is known only from Barrow Island, Western Australia ( Mound & Minaei 2006). As in other small wingless thrips, many structural features are severely reduced, with resultant problems in suggesting any relationships ( Figs 20 View FIGURES 19 – 24 , 37 View FIGURES 32 – 38 ).

Diagnosis. Head longer than wide, without major setae; eyes reduced to 6 ommatidia in aptera and macroptera; mouth-cone short and rounded, stylets long, retracted to eyes, close together medially; antennae 6-segmented, morphological segments VI–VIII fused, III with no sensorium, IV with 2 sensoria; pronotal setae minute, notopleural sutures incomplete; basantra absent; mesopraesternum eroded into 2 lateral plates, mesoeusternum divided longitudinally; no sternopleural sutures; fore tarsal tooth absent; fore wing when present swollen at base, parallel-sided, without duplicated cilia; pelta broad but slender; tergites III–VII of macropterae each with 2 pairs of sigmoid wing retaining setae, with transverse row of more than 12 small setae; tergite IX postermaginal setae shorter than tube; tube shorter than head, anal setae much shorter than tube; male sternite VIII without pore plate.
