Baenothrips

description: Baenothrips Crawford
This genus was erected for a single species known only from a single specimen reputed to be from Guatemala. Subsequently two further species from the Neotropics were placed in this genus, but the remaining six species in Baenothrips are all from the Old World tropics or subtropics (ThripsWiki 2022). They belong to a group of genera that is often referred to as the Urothripines, and species of these genera are usually wingless, and have the tenth abdominal segment long and parallel-sided (Figs 12–13). Variation in colour is commonly reported between samples of such wingless species, and in drawing attention to this situation in Australia, Mound (1972) decided not to consider as separate species each of the colour variants of Urothrips reedi (Stannard). There is currently no satisfactory explanation for the colour diversity amongst samples of such wingless leaf-litter thrips. However, it may be significant that no males have been found of B. bulbosus sp.n., although both sexes have been seen of the other two species described below.
In mainland Australia, only two species of Baenothrips are found commonly. One of these, caenosus (Stannard), has been studied only from southeastern localities. In contrast, moundi (Stannard) has been found widely across the continent south of Brisbane including Tasmania, and has also been studied from Lord Howe Island, Norfolk Island and New Zealand. Although over 100 slide-mounted apterae of this species have been studied, only three macropterae have been seen (two from Tasmania; one from Canberra). These macropterae of moundi have each compound eye narrowed ventrally to a row that is only two facets wide. However, three damaged macropterae have been seen from northern Queensland that are essentially similar to moundi but have the ventral part of the compound eyes consisting of a broad row that is three or four facets wide. Two further unidentified apterae of Baenothrips have been studied, one from Western Australia (Barrow Island) and one from Tasmania, and although both are essentially similar to caenosus they have all three pairs of anal setae almost equally elongate. The significance of the above five specimens remains in doubt.

(Fig. 6)
Female and male apterae. The fore legs of this species are fully white, with no trace of brown. Apart from this, both sexes of this species are apparently identical in structure, sculpture and chaetotaxy to goweri described above. The two species were found at similar sites on Mt Gower, but no specimens exhibiting intermediate colour patterns have been seen. As discussed further below, leukos is therefore interpreted here as representing a distinct species.
Measurements (holotype female in microns). Body length 1450. Head, length 175; maximum width 165; median setal pair 55; lateral setal pairs 30. Pronotum, length 105; width 200; posteroangular setae 20. Tergite IX, length 125; maximum width 100. Tube, length 220; anal setae mid-dorsal pair 140; lateral pairs 450. Antennal segments III–VIII length 35, 25, 25, 23, 23, 20.
Specimens studied. Holotype female aptera, Lord Howe Island, Mt Gower, from leaf litter, xii. 2000 in ANIC.
Paratypes, all from leaf litter on Lord Howe Island: 2 females taken with holotype; Erskine Valley, 4 females, 2.xii.2000, 1 male from grass tussock, 21.xii.2007; Rocky Run, 1 male from base of grasses, 22.xii.2001.
Comments. Found at similar sites on the slopes of Mt Gower, no structural differences could be found between the specimens listed and those of B. goweri, apart from the startling difference in colour of the fore legs.

Scirtothrips

description: Scirtothrips Shull
Worldwide, this genus comprises just over 100 described species (ThripsWiki 2022), and in Australia there are 21 named species (Hoddle & Mound 2003), plus an unknown number of undescribed species judging from the slide collections at the Australian National Insect Collection. Three species of this genus have been found on Lord Howe Island. One of these, S. albomaculatus Bianchi, was described from New Caledonia but has been taken widely in eastern Australia between southern Queensland and South Australia on various plants (Mound & Tree 2020). On Lord Howe Island this species was found breeding commonly on the leaves of the shrub Dodonaea viscosa [Sapindaceae]. The other two species are here newly described. They were found living on the young fronds of ferns—one on Cyathea and the other taken from an unidentified fern. These two species have widely spaced transverse sculpture lines on the pronotum, and this character state seems to be shared amongst Scirtothrips species only by two species known from tree ferns in Australia and New Zealand. The second of these two new species is remarkable in being the only known member of the genus Scirtothrips that lacks closely spaced rows of microtrichia on the abdominal tergites.

description: Prodiamesinae: genera
The small subfamily Prodiamesinae is cool temperate, largely northern hemisphere in distribution, and is represented in the region by all 5 known genera. Larvae of the subfamily are distinguished by a ventromental plate lacking striae (from Chironominae and Diamesinae), and from Orthocladiinae by fringed SI setae, presence of labral lamellae and the 4-segmented antenna. Inclusion of Propsilocerus Kieffer has been confirmed via molecular (Cranston et al. 2012) and morphological (Baranov 2021) analyses. A contemporary revision updates taxonomy for e. palaearctic and adjacent China fauna (Makarchenko & Semenchenko 2023).

Material examined. BRASIL [BRAZIL], Tocantins: Araguaína, Bairro Setor Brasil, 7°10’28.6”S – 48°12’00.4”W, coleta manual [manual collection], 07.X.2016, Rippel, M. L. S. (♂ CEUFT).
Distribution. Brazil (Pará, Tocantins *, Mato Grosso, Goiás, São Paulo) (CARRERA, 1959; VIEIRA, 2012).
Comments. Currently, E. pruinosus is only recorded in Brazil. Eraxasilus pruinosus is characterized by having yellow mystax interspersed with black setae (Figs 34, 35); gray thorax, yellow tomentose, gray scutellum (Fig. 33); black femora (Fig. 32), yellow tibiae, black tarsi posteriorly (Fig. 33), terminalia reddish (Fig. 32) (ARTIGAS & ANGULO, 1980).
Eraxasilus pruinosus is very close to E. acuminatus Carrera, 1959, but they can be distinguished by the shape of the hypandrium. In E. pruinosus the hypandrium is not acuminate, but curved and smooth, while in E. acuminatus the hypandrium has a small acuminate projection covered with small setae (CARRERA, 1959).

description: Anoplius (Dicranoplius) albidus (Evans, 1969)
Dicranoplius albidus Evans, 1969, Studia Ent., 12: 394–395 [Holotype: ♀, Brazil: Juazeirinho, Paraiba, 19 Dec. 1955 (MCZC. Type no. 31697)].
Diagnosis. For A. albidus, the female has a black head and mesosoma with reddish orange metasoma, but has silver setae surrounding areas of black setae forming an obvious pattern on the dorsum of the head and the dorsum of the mesosoma, except the propodeum is completely covered in silver setae along with the clypeus, frons, legs, and sides and venter of the mesosoma (Fig. 1 a). Also, the female has three comb spines and the last metasomal tergum has thin setae.
Male. Unknown.
Distribution. Brazil.
Material Examined. Brazil: Espírito Santo, Colatina, 1♀, X.1969, F.M. Oliveira (EMUS); Mato Grosso: Ribeirão Cascalheira, Faz, Sta. Marta, Cerrado, 1♀, 14.Jul.2013, C. Vieira (EMUS).
Remarks. The holotype was studied. This species is rare in collections and is known from three specimens, the holotype and the specimens listed above. Give the locality of the two specimens, this species must have a wide range throughout at least the Atlantic coast of Brazil. The type locality was misspelled as Joazeirinho in Evans (1966). The correct spelling is Juazeirinho.

Austrochares brevitarsus Banks, 1947, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool. 99: 425 [Type: female, Paraguay: Rio Yguazu, March (D. Wees) (MCZC. Type no. 26666)].
Diagnosis. For A. brevitarsus, both sexes have a black head and mesosoma with reddish orange metasoma, but have silver setae surrounding areas of black setae forming an obvious pattern on the dorsum of the head, pronotum, mesonotum and scutellum, while the propodeum is mostly black except posterolaterally (Figs. 1 c,d). The female has the vertex of the head more strongly arched than in other species, has three comb spines, and the last metasomal tergum has thin setae. The male has a posterior band on the pronotum, has dense white setae on the posterior face of the propodeum, and has an aedeagus that is slightly longer than the parapenial lobes and has expanded apical lobes (Fig. 4 in Evans (1969)).
Distribution. Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina north to Trinidad.
Material Examined. Argentina: Catamarca: Andalgala, 2♂, 4.Nov.1972, G.E. Bohart (EMUS); Coneta, 16 km S Catamarca, 1♂, 25.Oct–12.Nov.2003, M.E. Irwin and F.D.

Brazil: Goias, Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Veadeiros, 32♂, 3♀, 7–25.IX.2005, Aquiar (UFES). Trinidad: Chacachacare I., 6♂, 27.Nov–4.Dec.1999, R.R. Snelling (EMUS).
Remarks. The holotype and allotype were studied. Evans (1969) identified a specimen of A. areatus from Trinidad based on a single female and lacked any males to help with this determination. Subsequently, males of A. brevitarsus have been collected in Trinidad and study of the female indicates that it is actually A. brevitarsus rather than A. areatus.
