Dendrothrips schimae Kudô, 1989: 42 View in CoL . Syn.n. A full description of minowai was provided by Kudô (1984), and further details are given by Kudô (1989). It was regarded as rare and endemic to Japan ( Kudô, 1984), but judging from the specimens listed below this thrips specifically feeds on the leaves of Camellia , particular on the most widely planted species, C. sinensis . It is known as a pest of tea crops in China ( Xu et al. 2016), and can be collected in almost every tea garden. Since southwest China is the original center of Camellia , and tea plantations originated in China (Zhang et al. 2018c), minowai is probably originally from southwest China and spread to other tea cultivating areas. The species schimae was described from Nepal on the assumption that minowai is endemic to Japan. The differences between them provided by Kudô (1989) have been demonstrated as variations in populations from China. Specimens of minowai have 7–10 pairs of setae on tergites IV–VI, fore wing with 0–1setae on hind vein, all setae on sternite VII situated on posterior margin or setae S2 and S 3 in front of the posterior margin.
