Tubulifera (Insecta: Thysanoptera)

Sixty-eight species of Tubulifera in 29 genera are recorded from New Zealand, including the following new taxa: Cryptothrips okiwiensis ; Heptathrips cottieri , H. cumberi , H. kuscheli , H. tillyardi ; Nesothrips alexandrae , N. pintadus ; Ozothrips tubulatus , O. vagus ; Apterygothrips collyerae , A. kohai , A. sparsus , A. viretum ; Azaleothrips neatus ; Deplorothrips bassus ; Haplothrips salicorniae ; Hoplandrothrips choritus , H. ingenuus , H. vernus ; Hoplothrips anobii , H. kea , H. oudeus ; Lissothrips dentatus , L. dugdalei , L. gersoni ; Podothrips orarius , P. turangi ; Psalidothrips moeone , P. tane , P. taylori ; Yarnkothrips kolourus . Seventeen species have been introduced to New Zealand from Australia, but only 8 species appear to have been introduced from other parts of the world. Two New Zealand species are now widespread elsewhere, Aesothrips propinquus and Hoplothrips semicaecus . Thus, 43 of the 68 species of Tubulifera appear to be endemic to New Zealand - a higher proportion than in the Terebrantia. Two subfamilies are recognised, the Idolothripinae and Phlaeothripinae; the available tribal classification of the second group is discussed and rejected. The text includes notes on distribution and biology, and discusses life histories, phylogeny, morphology, and technical methods. A key to taxa is given, and the descriptive notes are supported by some 300 illustrations.
