Docessissophothripini

Female Holothrips, from CSIRO.


Belongs within: Phlaeothripidae.

The Docessissophothripini are a group of fungus-feeding thrips characterised by the possession of relatively broad maxillary guides outside the maxillary stylets. The stylets themselves may be remarkably long, and form multiple loops when retracted in the genera Maxillata and Tropothrips (Mound & Palmer 1983). The majority of species in this group are placed in the cosmopolitan genus Holothrips, while the remaining genera are relatively small and more restricted in distribution. Mound and Palmer (1983) suggested that the smaller genera may represent recent evolutionary segregates from Holothrips.

Characters (from Mound & Palmer 1983): Antennae with segments VII-VIII more or less fused, III with three sense cones (two in Asemothrips, Pongola, Symphyothrips, four in Oidanothrips), IV with four sense cones (two in Symphyothrips and sometimes Pongola). Maxillary stylets moderately broad, retracted to compound eyes, usually parallel in middle of head but sometimes looped; maxillary guides stout. Pronotum with epimeral sutures complete; praepectus absent; metathoracic sternopleural sutures well-developed, anapleural sutures complete. Wings usually present; forewings with duplicated cilia (except Asemothrips). Pelta usually elongate triangular (relatively broad in Pongola); tergites with two pairs of sigmoid wing-retaining setae, although these are sometimes reduced; tube usually with straight sides but in various species the tube is broadened, ridged or sculptured; tergite IX setae B2 of male short and stout (except Pongola and Symphyothrips); median sternites of male (usually III-V) with one or a pair of transverse areas of reticulate sculpture which is irridescent under phase contrast microscopy.
