“…Within the genus Hoplandrothrips, this species is similar to several Australian and New Zealand species in the presence of minor setae on the anterior third of the metanotum. It is particularly similar to howei from Lord Howe Island (Mound & Tree 2013), but that is more uniformly dark brown, with the head longer and antennal segment III paler and more slender. A single specimen from New Caledonia was mentioned by Mound and Tree (2013) as possibly representing leai, but that specimen has darker tibiae and tarsi, a longer tube, and the metanotum with equiangular reticulation medially.…”

The original description lacks structural details, and so a formal description is provided here:…”

The thrips fauna of Norfolk Island is a curious mix of endemics and adventives, with notable absences that include one major trophic group. A brief introduction is provided to the history of human settlement and its ecological impact on this tiny land mass in the western Pacific Ocean. The Thysanoptera fauna comprises about 20% endemic and almost 50% widespread invasive species, and shows limited faunal relationships to the nearest territories, Australia, New Caledonia and New Zealand. This fauna, comprising 66 species, includes among named species 29 Terebrantia and 33 Tubulifera, with four Tubulifera remaining undescribed. At least 12 species are endemics, of which 10 are mycophagous, and up to 10 further species are possibly native to the island. As with the thrips fauna of most Pacific islands, many species are widespread invasives. However, most of the common thrips of eastern Australia have not been found on Norfolk Island, and the complete absence of leaf-feeding Phlaeothripinae is notable. The following new taxa are described: in the Phlaeothripidae, Buffettithrips rauti gen. et sp. n. and Priesneria akestra sp. n.; and in the Thripidae, Scirtothrips araucariae sp. n. and Thrips merae sp. n.

“…The species in this family apparently all breed in flowers, and they probably have a high degree of host specificity. All four species of Holarthrothrips breed in the male flowers of date palms and its relatives (Mound et al 2013b). Only one species is recorded in Iran.…”

In Iran, as a result of recent changes in nomenclature 201 species and one species group of the insect Order Thysanoptera, are here listed in 70 genera and five families. In considering species listed previously from this country, the presence of 7 species is considered not confirmed, and 12 species are excluded from the Iranian list. Problems in the study of Iranian Thysanoptera are discussed briefly.

“…Sexual dimorphism is well developed among the species of Holoengythrips, as it is among the species of Hoplandrothrips (Mound & Tree 2013). Not only do males have a larger fore tarsal tooth than females, but the anterior margin of the mesoeusternum is much narrower in males than in females, with associated differences in the mesopresternum (Figs 56-59).…”

Ten species of Holothrips, including seven new species, are recognized from Australia, with one further new species from New Caledonia. A new genus, Holoengythrips, is described from Australia, with nine new species that look similar to Holothrips species in having elongate maxillary stylets that are close together medially for the full length of the head. In contrast to species of Holothrips, the species of Holoengythrips are strongly sexually dimorphic, with antennal segment VIII separated from VII and the maxillary stylets more slender, and the males have a pore plate on the eighth sternite. Holoengythrips is therefore considered to be more closely related to Hoplandrothrips.
