Liothrips miyazakii Okajima

(Figs 7, 37, 51, 83)

Liothrips miyazakii Okajima, 2006: 444 .

Described from Nikko, Honshu, Japan on Gentiana scabra, this species seems similar to L. wasabiae in its body shape. One paratype female was studied here with the following character states: fore tibiae slightly shaded at basal third, antennal segments III–VI broad with basal stem (Fig. 37), postocular setae finely pointed at apex (Fig. 7), antennal segments largely yellow, with apical half of VI also VII–VIII light brown (Fig. 37), and maxillary stylets not reaching to eyes (Fig. 7). The three females listed below from Sichuan province possibly represent L. miyazakii, but their major setae are expanded at the apex and antennal segment III is more slender.
