Desmidothrips

description: Desmidothrips Mound
Desmidothrips Mound, 1977: 149. Type species Desmidothrips walkerae Mound, by original designation.
Wing fully developed. Head with no long setae; postocular setae scattered, fore ocellus about half diameter of hind ocelli. Maxillary palps 3-segmented, segment II not subdivided. Antennae 9-segmented, segments III–IV with liner sensoria having internal discoidal markings. Pronotum without long setae, but a pair of posteromarginal setae stouter than discal setae; notopleural suture distinct. Mesonotum with a median pair of setae medially. Metascutum reticulate, with median pair of setae near posterior margin. Fore wing with a long transverse dark band, pale at base and apex; clavus with 4–7 veinal setae; posteromarginal fringe cilia not wavy. Fore tarsus with recurved ventral hamus. Abdominal sternites with 2–6 discal setae laterally, 4–5 pairs of posteromarginal setae, two pairs of accessary setae at submedian area near posterior margin on VII. Male abdominal tergites without tubercles, tergite I with paired longitudinal ridges, tergite IX without clasper.
Remarks. This genus shows a divided distribution between New Caledonia, New Zealand and Japan. In this it is similar to Paroxythrips, a thripine genus that is also known from Japan and Australia (Masumoto & Okajima 2017). It is closely related to the Australian genera Desmothrips and Andrewarthaia, and to the South American genus Stomatothrips (Mound 1977; Pereyra & Mound 2010; Mound et al., 2017), in having abdominal sternites III–VII with discal setae laterally, and they also share narrow linear sensoria on antennal segments III–IV. However, these three genera have the mesonotum with more than two pairs of median setae, whereas in Desmidothrips the mesonotum has only one pair of median setae. Desmothrips is known as the ecological equivalent of the large Holarctic genus Aeolothrips. Despite their similarities these two genera are not closely related (Pereyra & Mound 2010). An Indian monotypic genus, Aduncothrips is also similar to Desmidothrips but the former genus has fore wing with longitudinal dark band along posterior margin (Ananthakrishnan, 1963).

Franklinothrips

description: Franklinothrips Back
Franklinothrips Back, 1912: 76. Type species: Aeolothrips vespiformis Crawford, by monotypy.
Wing fully developed. Head usually partly retracted into prothorax and slightly prolonged anteriorly, with no long setae; fore ocellus about half the diameter of hind ocelli (Fig. 80). Compound eyes prolonged ventrally with enlarged ommatidia. Maxillary palps 3-segmented, segment III short. Antennal segments III–IV long and slender, with elongate and sinuous or multifaceted sensoria, III at least 8 times as long as wide (Fig. 81). Pronotum without long setae. Mesonotum with median pair of setae medially. Metascutum almost smooth medially; with median pair of setae near posterior margin. Fore wing slender, costal vein with fringe cilia but no setae (Fig. 23); clavus with 4– 7 veinal setae. Fore tarsus with recurved ventral hamus. Abdominal segments I–II more or less constricted in female; tergites II–VIII with S1 setae minute and wide apart; tergite X with paired trichobothria very small; sternites with 2 pairs of posteromarginal setae and 1–2 pairs of setae laterally in front of the margin; sternite VII with two pairs of accessary setae near posterior margin. Male tergite I with paired weak longitudinal ridges terminating in square or rounded apex overhanging tergite II.
Remarks. Previously, this genus included 16 species, with six Neotropical, five Oriental, three Australasian and two Afrotropical, although species such as F. megalops and F. vespiformis are widespread (ThripsWiki 2018; Mound & Reynaud 2005). Members of the genus are obligate predators and several species are ant-mimics. An identification key to 14 species is available (Mound & Reynaud 2005). This genus is closely related to the monotypic African genus Corynothripoides, which may be a synonym of Franklinothrips, but the later genus has head with the greater prolongation in front of compound eyes (Mound & Reynaud, 2005).

description: Franklinothrips vespiformis (Crawford, D. L.)
(Figs 13–14, 24)
Aeolothrips vespiformis Crawford, D.L., 1909: 109.
Diagnosis. Female macroptera. Body bicoloured, abdominal segments I–II largely pale but dark along antecostal line of tergites (Fig. 13); antennal segments I–III yellow, IV–IX dark brown; fore wing dark with subbasal and median pale areas, dark about distal half, two dark areas connected posterior narrow dark band, extreme base and clavus dark; all legs dark brown (Fig. 24). Head strongly arched at cheeks, smooth dorsally. Antennal segment III– IV with sinuous sensoria. Fore wing microtrichia large at subbasal area on first and second veins and veinal fork.
Male macroptera. Body largely dark, abdomen slightly paler (Fig. 14); antennal segments dark, segments III– IV pale paler; fore wing extreme apex pale but apical ring vein shaded; all legs dark. Head straight at cheeks, sculptured with transverse striae. Antennal segments III–IV with wide sinuous sensoria dorsally.
Specimens studied. JAPAN: Ryukyus, Okinawa-hontou Is.: Chinen-son, Chinen, 1 female on leaves of Cucumis melo [Cucurbitaceae], 20.vi.1996, N. Arakaki (TUA). Naha City: 6 males reared, 24.xii.1997, N.

Sugimoto (TUA). 1 female on Scaevola sericea [Goodeniaceae], 7.vi.2011, K. Fujimoto (TUA).
Remarks. This species is originally from central America but is now widespread and pantropical (Mound & Reynaud 2005), and was found in Japan for the first time in 1996 (Arakaki & Okajima 1998). It is well known as a predator on other small arthropods such as thrips and white fly. Arakaki and Okajima (1998) reported two species of Tetranychus [Tetranychidae], larvae of Liriomyza trifolii [Agromyziidae] and nymphs of Aphis gossypii [Aphididae] as prey as a result of laboratory observations. Today, F. vespiformis is used as a biological pesticide against thrips such as Thrips palmi for vegetables in greenhouses of Japan (Shimizu et al. 2004).

Host. Spotted python, Antaresia maculosa (Peters, 1873) (Ophidia: Pythonidae).
Distribution. Australia (New South Wales, Queensland).
Material studied. One specimen from A. maculosa (host field No. AUS 003) in Wulguru, Queensland (19°19'31''S 146°48'41''E), 15.04.2000, Coll. Ian Beveridge (MHNG-PLAT-36548).
Remarks. The specimen studied belongs to a new species as evidenced by its sequences of ssr DNA, lsr DNA, rrn L and cox 1 (KC786013, KC786024, KC786001 and KC785988, respectively—Scholz et al., 2013). However, only fragmentary material unsuitable for morphological study is available. This morphotype is characterised by a scolex 1.39 mm wide with four uniloculate shallow suckers, 200–217 testes, the length of the cirrus-sac representing 28–35% of the width of the proglottid, post-equatorial position of the genital pore, 33–34 uterine diverticula on each side, and the absence of egg clusters (see Table 2).

Host. Eastern tiger snake, Notechis scutatus (Peters, 1861) (Ophidia: Elapidae).
Distribution. Australia (Victoria).
Material studied. Six incomplete specimens in numerous pieces (four whole mounts) from N. scutatus (host field No. AUS 122; paragenophore deposited as MHNG-PLAT-34205) in Victoria, Frankston (19°20'50''S 146°51'28''E); one specimen (three whole mounts) from N. scutatus (host field No. AUS 127, MHNG-PLAT- 34206) in the same locality. Two incomplete specimens in pieces (four whole mounts) from N. scutatus from Mulhins Swamp, near Penola, SA (SAM 16300).
Remarks. As with Australophiotaenia sp. 1, this is likely another new species, whose sequences of rrn L and cox 1 (KC786002 and KC785989, respectively) were provided by Scholz et al. (2013). However, the poor quality of the material available, collected from a frozen host, impedes formal description of this new taxon. This cestode possesses 111–131 testes, a pre-equatorial genital pore (at 36–45% of the length of the proglottid) and 15–23 uterine branches on each side (Table 2).

Host. Dugite, Pseudonaja affinis Gunther, 1872 (Ophidia: Elapidae).
Distribution. Australia (coastal SW Western Australia).
Material studied. Two fragmented specimens with only one scolex (six whole mount slides and seventeen slides with cross sections) from Murdoch University Campus, Western Australia, 2.11.1998, collected by D. Mead- Hunter (MUP X99/04 a); one fragmented specimen without scolex (three whole mount slides) from Blanchins, Western Australia, 11.11.1996 (WAM 18-97).
Remarks. Specimens studied are characterised by elongate mature proglottids, pregravid and gravid proglottids considerably longer than wide (length: width ratio = 4.0–5.1), a very small scolex (300 µm wide) with a large apical organ (125 µm in diameter) representing 42% of the /width of the scolex, 139–217 testes in two lateral fields, a genital pore situated postequatorially (59–69% of the length of the proglottid), numerous uterine lateral diverticula (38–59 on each side), and eggs with a thick-walled embryophore, not grouped in clusters.

description: Australophiotaenia sp. 5
Host. Eastern brown snake, Pseudonaja textilis (Duméril, Bibron & Duméril, 1854) (Ophidia: Elapidae). Distribution. Australia (Western Australia).

Abbreviations: OV = percentage of the width of the ovary versus the width of the proglottid; PC = percent of the length of the cirrus-sac to the width of the proglottid; PP = position of the genital pore (cirrus pore) as the % of the proglottid length; SL = Supplementary layer of the eggs
Material studied. One fragmented specimen with scolex (12 whole mounts slides), from Walpeup, Victoria (35°8'10''S 142°1'30''E), 28.11.1985, D.M. Spratt (ANWC-C525)
Remarks. This species likely represents a new taxon but the material available is fragmented which prevents us describing this taxon formally. It is characterised by a small scolex, 345 width, with a large apical organ, 130 in diameter, by a small ratio of the length of cirrus-sac versus width of the proglottid (13–18%), and by the presence of a third embryophore layer (See Table 2).

Australophiotaenia

description: Australophiotaenia sp. 6
Host. Common death adder, Acanthophis antarticus (Shaw, 1805) (Ophidia: Elapidae).
Distribution. Australia (Western Australia).
Material studied. Two whole mounts with four pregravid proglottids (WAM 11-97) from Blanchins, Western Australia, 6.6.1996.
Remarks. Only four pregravid, partly decomposed and deformed proglottids are available. It is characterised by possessing 56-63 testes (n = 3), 12–15 uterine diverticula on each side, the width of the ovary represents 46– 51% (n = 3) of the proglottid width; However, they possess a submedian genital pore, which is unique among all proteocephalid tapeworms (see Freze, 1965; Rego, 1994; de Chambrier et al., 2017).

Australophiotaenia

description: Australophiotaenia sp. 7
Host. Black-headed python, Aspidites melanocephalus (Krefft, 1864) (Ophidia: Pythonidae).
Distribution. Australia (West Australia).
Material studied. One fragmented incomplete specimen (five proglottids, one whole-mount) from Perth Zoo, 31.3.1998 (MUP X 98/02).
Remarks. This fragmented, incomplete specimen without a scolex is in a poor state of preservation and not suitable for reliable morphological description. This morphotype may represent a new species that is typified by a large cirrus-sac, the length of which represents 45–55% of the proglottid width, i.e. the cirrus-sac may overpass the middle line of proglottid.

description: Australophiotaenia sp. 8
Host. Blue-bellied black snake, Pseudechis guttatus De Vis, 1905 (Ophidia: Elapidae).
Distribution. Australia (Queensland).
Material studied. One specimen with scolex (two whole-mounted slide and six cross sections) from Dalby, Queensland (27°11'49''S 151° 15' 57''E), 17.01.1935 (BMNH 1936.3.31.31-40).
Remarks. The specimen is in poor state of preservation and does not allow reliable morphological description. It s characterised by a scolex 475 wide and 250 long, without an apical organ, 61–67 testes in two narrow lateral bands, a high ratio of the ovary width to the width of the proglottid (68–83%), a genital pore situated anteriorly (34–45%), and the absence of egg clusters.
