Body medium brown with lateral margins of abdomen paler; antennal segments I–V mainly yellow, VI–VII light brown; femora mainly brown with apex paler, tibiae yellow with brown markings, tarsi yellow; fore wing pale with transverse dark areas at veinal fork and sub-apically, these areas bearing dark setae. <b>Measurements</b> (holotype female in microns) Body length 1245. Head, length 133; width across eyes 155. Pronotum, length 106; maximum width 179; discal setae 40. Fore wing length 678; longest costal seta 46. Tergite IX setae S1 38, S2 56, S3 50. Antennal segments I–VII length 18; 30; 52; 48; 34; 26; 25. <i>Male macroptera</i>. Similar in structure to female; sternites V‒VII each with small, circular pore plate medially (Fig. 10). <b>Specimens studied</b>. Holotype female, <b>New Caledonia</b>, Mont Nondoue (approx. -22.1498, 166.3833), 110 m altitude, taken by fogging in sclerophilous forest 3.vii.1992 (Chazeau <i>et al</i>.), # JBOU3504, in Insect Collection, CIRAD CBGP Montpellier, France. Paratypes: 9 females, 6 taken with holotype, # JBOU3505 to JBOU3513 and JBOU3515 to JBOU3520. New Caledonia, Rivière bleue P7 (-22.10329, 166.70251), 1 female, 1 male taken by fogging in dense forest, 21.vii.1992 (Chazeau <i>et al</i>.), # JBOU3514, JBOU3521; Farino Cascade, 1 female from dead twigs, 15.iv.2012 (in ANIC); Mt Do, 1 female beaten from vegetation, 16.iv.2012 (in ANIC). Paratypes will be deposited the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris, and the Natural History Museum, London. <b>Comments</b>. Presumably this thrips feeds on plant leaves, as is typical of Panchaetothripinae. Some members of this sub-family are polyphagous and several are pests (Lima <i>et al</i>. 2020). Unfortunately, there are very few studies on the life cycle of any member of the sub-family (Martin 2017; Goldarazena <i>et al</i>. 2021; Lima <i>et al</i>. 2021). This new species is dedicated to Alexander Bournier and his son Jean Paul Bournier in recognition of their contribution to the study of the Order Thysanoptera.
