Idolothripini

Male Dinothrips sumatrensis, from CSIRO.

Belongs within: Phlaeothripidae.
Contains: Elaphrothrips, Mecynothrips, Ophthalmothrips, Anactinothrips, Idolothripina, Actinothrips, Bactrothrips, Zeugmatothrips.

The Idolothripini is a lineage of fungus-feeding thrips, characterised by the absence of metathoracic sternopleural sutures, and usually by the presence on the tergites of two or more pairs of wing-retaining setae. Within the Idolothripini, the subtribes Idolothripina and Hystricothripina are united by the presence of conspicuous lateral setae on the anal tube, and shortened metathoracic anapleural sutures. The Elaphrothripina, in contrast, lack conspicuous hairs on the tube and have the anapleural sutures complete (Mound & Palmer 1983).
