Dendrothrips homalii Zhang & Tong, 1988: 276 View in CoL .

The type specimens of homalii were collected from Homalium hainanense [ Flacourtiaceae ] in Hainan province, and a series including the male was collected recently from Populus tomentosa [ Salicaceae ] in Hunan, China. The type specimens have been compared with D. howeii from Lord Howe Island, Australia, a species that is also introduced to California ( Hoddle et al. 2012). These two species are remarkably similar in color or structure, although the available males from Australia are paler than the available male from China. At present it is not possible to decide if they represent the same species. A further similar species is strasseni based on a single female from Mumbai, India, that is also recorded from Nepal by Kudô (1989).

Female body brown, abdominal tergites slightly paler medially (Fig. 50); antennal segment brown, III and IV paler; fore wing white in basal fifth, then brown to apex ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 12–23 ). Antennae 8-segmented, III–IV each with a small forked sense cone. Head reticulate on occipital region, ocellar triangle finely tuberculate with weak lines; pronotum transverse reticulate bearing inner winkles and coarse granules, all setae minute but slightly thickened ( Fig. 5 View FIGURES 1–11 ). Mesonotum with transverse reticles; metanotum longitudinally striate, median setae arising in the middle. Fore wing with uniform microtrichia, veinal setae small, first vein with 7 basal setae and 2 distal setae, second vein generally with 7–9 setae; clavus with 4+1 setae, the apical one longest and blunt. Abdominal tergites III–VIII with transverse anastomosing striae bearing short ridges ( Fig. 17 View FIGURES 12–23 ); tergite VIII with complete posteromarginal comb.

Male: similar to female (Fig. 51), but abdomen slender, antennae brown ( Fig. 41 View FIGURES 41–49 ), tergites IV–V pale ( Fig. 38 View FIGURES 38–40 ).
