Description
Summary:Species of the Oriental subtropical and tropical genus Phylladothrips of fungus-feeding thrips exhibit some diagnostic character states, usually with abdominal tergite VIII bearing two pairs of wing-retaining setae and male tergite IX setae S2 about as long as S1. These species are quite small, and the maxillary stylets unusually broad for Phlaeothripinae. Phylladothrips trisetae sp. nov. from Xizang, China and P. selangor sp. nov. from Selangor, Malaysia are described, and P. fasciae is newly recorded from China. All 11 species in this genus are revised with an illustrated key.
