Los tisanópteros del grupo genérico Anaphothrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), con énfasis en América Central

Abstract

Thysanopterans of the generic group Anaphothrips (Thripidae: Thripinae) with emphasis in Central America. A taxonomic revision and phylogenetic analysis of the generic group Anaphothrips are presented. Several genera in Central America are closely related to this generic group. Based on the analysis of characters and its possible evolution, the new genus Nakaharathrips has been segregated from Anaphothrips, and the taxonomic status of the subspecies of Aurantothrips has been changed to the species level. The phylogenetic analysis shows a close relationship between the genera Anaphothrips, Ranjana, Nakaharathrips n.gen., Aurantothrips, Nicolemma n.gen., Ameranathrips, Baileyothrips and Gonzalezya n.gen., where the first lineage is formed by the genera (Ranjana (Aurantothrips+Nicolemma)) and the second lineage contains the genera

Nomenclatural problems among Thysanoptera (Insecta) of Costa Rica

“…The systematic position of Neophysopus (=Nakaharathrips) has been undisputed for many years, either as a subgenus or as a synonym of Anaphothrips (Priesner 1949, Stannard 1968). The decision (Retana-Salazar 2007) to segregate into one genus those species that have antennal segments VII and VIII fully distinct from VI, together with those that have segment VI partially divided by an incomplete oblique suture, and to place into a second genus those species in which segment VI is completely undivided, is not supported by any additional morphological or biological evidence. The conclusion seems to be derived from a mathematical paper (Retana-Salazar and Retana-Salazar, 2004) in which it is claimed that a difference such as the number of antennal segments that can be scored must indicate that different taxa are involved.…”

El grupo Frankliniella tritici en la región de América Central, el Caribe y México (Terebrantia: Thripidae) y descripción de una nueva especie para México, Frankliniella oaxacensis

“…Los trabajos de Bhatti (1988de Bhatti ( , 1999 han demostrado que algunos caracteres asociados a la morfología genital del macho, así como a las estructuras accesorias de la genitalia de la hembra como es la espermateca son de valor taxonómico. Retana-Salazar (2007) utiliza este carácter en la segregación del género Nicolemma. Las variaciones en estos caracteres han sido estudiadas en varios trabajos anteriores con poco éxito en la aceptación de los mismos.…”
