description: Heliothrips Haliday
There are five valid described species in this genus (ThripsWiki 2023), including one new species and one synonymy, apart from a nomen dubium. They show remarkable diversity in the Americas, especially in Brazil. This genus is defined by a dark brown body; head with strong reticulations, antennae with 8 segments, a simple sensory cone on segments III and IV; pronotum transverse, with no long setae and with strong reticulations; metascutum with prominent sculptured triangle; fore wing with a rounded apex; and abdominal tergite X with a longitudinal division. The morphological re-examination of these individuals made it possible to identify the occurrence of intra- and interspecific variations in both populations of H. haemorrhoidalis and H. angustior as defined here. However, the morphological differences do not follow a pattern, thus no new groupings were established, indicating cryptic diversity or species complexes for these two species.

Notes. This species was described from Guangxi, China (Chao 1954) and subsequently recorded in Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, and Hong Kong (Zhang 2019) and northern Vietnam on an internet blog (Kompier 2014). Ophiogomphus sinicus is the largest representative of the genus in Vietnam (measurements: Abdomen including appendages: 46 mm; Hw 37 mm).
It should be noted here that, Karube (2014: p. 80) stated that the apical 2/3 of male cerci of Ophiogomphus sinicus from Cao Bang Province, North Vietnam are yellowish. However Wilson (per. comm.) has informed us that some specimens of O. sinicus from Hong Kong have entirely blackish-brown cerci. This may represent onto genetic or geographic variability.
Distribution. Vietnam: Cao Bang Province (Pia Oac National Park) (Fig. 36); China: Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi Provinces and Hong Kong (Zhang 2019).

(a total of 596 specimens): 1 male (BFU), “ Jilin, Yanbian, Antu, Laoling, along G334, N42.5072, E128.5942, 950–1150 m ”, “ Pitfall trap, 2019.VIII.1–2, Liu YZ & Wang C lgt., Exp. 2019 of BJFU ae图 县ƭĸ G334”; 6 female (BFU), “ Jilin, Yanbian, Antu, Laoling, Dixiaanhe view point, N42.5153, E128.6447, 1300 m ”, “ Pitfall trap, 2019.VII.31–VIII.2, Liu YZ, Wang C, Zhu PZ & Wu JY lgt., Exp. 2019 of BJFU ae图县ƭĸ地 下ûñạ区 ”; 1 male (IZAS), “ CHINA, Jilin Province, west of Laoling, Rolike Lake, N42.4789, E128.6629, 1438 m, 2015.VII.28 D, Liang Hongbin, Yuan Feng”; 1 female (IZAS), “ CHINA, Jilin Provin.

Distribution. China (Jilin Province, Antu County, Changbai Mountain and Laoling Mountain) and North Korea (North Hamgyong Province, Kyongsong County, Ompo).
Remarks. Morphodactyla coreica is mostly confused with Dolichus coreicus Jedlička, 1936 (a synonym of Dolichus davidis (Fairmaire, 1889), proposed by Lindroth (1956) but rejected by Nemoto (1990)) in several catalogues recently (Hovorak, 2017; Lorenz, 2005, 1998; Hovorak & Sciaky, 2003). However, the former has been wrongly placed in genus Calathus (incertae sedis), while in fact it belongs in the genus Morphodactyla (omitted in Hovorak & Sciaky 2003). The latter has been wrongly placed in genus Morphodactyla, while it in fact belongs in the genus Dolichus.

Distribution. Taiwan (Fig. 19).
Remarks. Ma (1995) reported that Epitrichius elegans is distributed in the Chinese insular province Hainan, southern China. However, we did not find any other specimens and/or collecting records of the species in Hainan. Because E. elegans is a splendid trichiine that can be easily distinguished from other species in the genus, we therefore treat the record from the island Hainan as doubtful. Adults of E. elegan s are widely distributed throughout the Central Mountain Ranges of Taiwan and the adjacent mountains ranging from 600– 2000 m in elevation. The temporal distribution of T. elegans ranges from the end of May to early September with most found visiting flowers in the forest canopy.

(Figs 93–104)
This species is native to Brazil, and known in the states that comprise the Atlantic Forest (Bahia, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul) and Pampa (Rio Grande do Sul) Biomes. It is presumably polyphagous, having been collected from leaves of bamboo, Eugenia sp., mango, Miconia calvescens and Plinia cauliflora (Lima et al. 2020; Cavalleri & Gonçalves 2022). The absence of a flange on the metascutum (Fig. 99), and the position of the campaniform sensilla in the reticulated area of the abdominal tergite I are unique among Heliothrips species. The shape of the mesonotum and mesoscutal can vary within individuals, while the campaniform sensilla can be displaced laterally and at varying distances from one to three reticulations, but are never found in the anterior area of tergite I (Figs 98, 100). Teneral males may have a golden yellow abdomen (Fig. 95) as in hemorrhoidalis, and the sternal pore plates may be longer in some individuals (Figs 102–104).

Hsu (2 males, CCLI).
Distribution. Taiwan (Fig. 19).
Remarks. The species can be recognized by the dull green head, pronotum (partly with copper red in females) and scutellum; the dense rugosity on the pronotum and scutellum; the absence of a lateral setose spot on the disc of the pronotum. Also, the major hook of the internal sac is always with a lateral denticle (Fig. 18) thereby distinguishing E. cupreipes from all allied species from mainland China and Indochina. Adults are active from March to August in the low elevation montane areas of Taiwan below 1500 m in elevation (mostly under 1000 m) and feed on the flowers of trees, shrubs or herbs without any specific preference.

Material examined. (a total of 49 specimens): 1 male and 2 females (IZAS), “ CHINA, Jilin Province, Changbaishan, Erdaobaihe Town, 1023 m, 2015.VI.16–18, Liu Ye ”; 1 female (IZAS), “ CHINA, Jilin Provin.

Changbaishan, 1993.VII.2–4, Yu Peiyu lgt.”; 4 males and 18 females (IZAS), “ CHINA, Jilin Province, Yanbian Prefecture, Antu County, North slope of Changbaishan Mountain, pitfall trap, 770–1960 m, 2012.VII.12–29, Zou Yi lgt.”; 20 specimens (BHU), “ CHINA, Jilin Province, Yanbian Prefecture, Antu County, North slope of Changbaishan Mountain, pitfall trap, 890–1870 m, 2019.V.31–IX.16, Liu Shengdong lgt.”; 1 male and 1 female (IZAS), “ dzḁŝȗøañ, 1954.8.12 ” [Author’s note: according to the administrative division of China, the place belonged to Liaodong Province at that time and was transferred to Jilin Province in August 1954. It is now Huapi Village, Liudaogou Town, Linjiang City, Baishan City, Jilin Province].
Distribution. China (Jilin Province, Antu County and Linjiang City) and South Korea (Gyeongsangnam Province, Sancheong County, Jungsanri, Mt. Jirisan).
Remarks. In all the specimens we examined, the apical lamella of the male aedeagus is slightly narrower before the apex (dorsal view), These were compared to the freehand sketches in the original literature (Sasakawa et al. 2006), which show the apical lamella to be almost straight. Additionally, the apical filament of left paramere of male aedeagus shows intraspecific variation, being either present or absent. The specimens from China might represent a new subspecies, but it is more appropriate to maintain the status until the specimens from North Korea are available and the genus Pristosia is carefully revised.
