Zootaxa 2014 2014-09-04 3860 2 125 148 6LXG8 Mound & Tree, 2014 Mound & Tree 2014 [151,369,1410,1436] Insecta Phlaeothripidae Holothrips Animalia Thysanoptera 3 128 Arthropoda species eurytis sp. nov.  ( Figs 3, 18)  Female macroptera. Body legs and antennae brown, except basal third of antennal segment III yellow; fore wings uniformly weakly shaded; major setae all pale. Head with cheeks strongly convex behind eyes then concave before widening to posterior margin; interantennal process exceptionally wide ( Fig. 3); dorsal surface reticulate posterolaterally, with almost no sculpture medially; postocular setae long and weakly capitate; maxillary stylets retracted to eyes, close together medially, with wide loop at level of prothorax. Antennae 8-segmented, VIII broadly joined to VII, III with 3 sensoria, IV with 4. Pronotum transverse, reticulate on anterior and posterior thirds, with 5 pairs of weakly capitate major setae, notopleural sutures complete; fore tarsal tooth about half as long as tarsal width. Prosternal ferna not meeting medially; mesopresternum transverse, fused laterally to mesoeusternum and projecting medially into mesoeusternal anterior margin ( Fig. 18); metathoracic sternopleural suture short. Mesonotal setae small. Metanotum without sculpture medially, median setae arise on posterior half, anterior third with at least one pair of minor setae. Fore wing uniformly broad, 16–20 duplicated cilia; sub-basal setae small and capitate, arising in a triangle. Pelta reticulate; tergites II–VI with one pair of weakly curved wingretaining setae and transverse row of 6–10 discal setae, major setae capitate; tergite IX setae long and finely acute; tube much shorter than head.   Measurements( holotypefemale in microns).Body length 4050. Head, length 500; width behind eyes 400; postocular setae 100. Pronotum, length 280; width 550; major setae: am 70, aa 60, ml 75, epim 90, pa 110. Fore wing length 1500; sub-basal setae 60, 70, 60. Tergite IX setae: S1 250, iS 75, 280. Tube length 250. Antennal segments III–VIII length 110, 110, 100, 90, 55, 35.  Female microptera. Similar to macroptera but metanotum reticulate and wing-retaining setae straight or absent.  Male microptera. Similar to female except, fore tarsal tooth slightly more robust; mesopresternum divided into three sections, mesoeusternal anterior margin weakly concave but not eroded; metanotum reticulate, with 2 pairs of minor setae on anterior third; sternites V–VIII with variable areas of reticulate sculpture.   Measurements( paratypemale in microns).Body length 3100. Head, length 450; width behind eyes 380; postocular setae 85. Pronotum, length 300; width 430. Fore wing lobe 180. Tergite IX setae: S1 170, iS 55, S2 75. Tube length 210.    Material studied.  Holotypefemale macroptera,  Queensland, Brisbane, Mt Coot-tha, from  Eucalyptusdead branches,  14.x.2006( LAM 4966).  Paratypes, mostly beaten from  Eucalyptusbranches: 4 femalemacropterae, 2 femalemicropterae, 2 malemicropterae, taken with  holotype; same locality, 1 femalemicroptera,  29.x.2007, 1 femalemacroptera, 1.xi.2007;  Brisbane, Gap Creek Reserve, 1 femalemicroptera,  17.i.2006;  Girraween, 1 femalemacroptera and 1 femalemicroptera,  29.xii.2011;  Mt Gammy, 1 femalemacroptera,  15.ix.2009.   New South Wales, Werrikimbe, 1 femalemacroptera,  7.xii.1997.   Australian Capital Territory, Black Mt., 1 female, 1 malemicropterae,  18.iv.2009, 1 femalemacroptera and 1 femalemicroptera, 26.ii.2011;  Weston, 1 malemacroptera,  1.x.2006;  Mulligan’s Flat, 2 femalemacropterae and 1 femalemicroptera,  6.xii.2003.    Comments.The interantennal projection is much broader in this species than in  australis, but in males the mesoeusternal anterior margin is only concave not eroded medially. 3337336387 2006-10-14 LAM Mt Coot-tha Brisbane 4 129 LAM 4966 1 Queensland holotype 3337336404 [427,1062,692,717] 2007-10-29 4 129 1 1 holotype 3337336307 [151,877,727,752] 2006-01-17 Gap Creek Reserve Brisbane 4 129 1 1 paratype 3337336366 2011-12-29 Girraween 4 129 2 2 paratype 3337336328 [431,949,764,789] 2009-09-15 Mt Gammy 4 129 1 1 paratype 3337336383 1997-12-07 Werrikimbe 4 129 1 1 New South Wales paratype 3337336381 [426,1407,799,824] 2009-04-18 Black Mt. 4 129 2 1 1 Australian Capital Territory paratype 3337336336 [793,1219,836,861] 2006-10-01 Weston 4 129 1 1 Australian Capital Territory paratype 3337336357 2003-12-06 Mulligan's Flat 4 129 3 3 Australian Capital Territory paratype
