Liothrips bomiensis Han

(Figs 2, 52, 69)

Liothrips bomiensis Han, 1988: 187 .

This species was described from Tibet, China from a holotype male and 13 paratypes including two females and 11 males taken from leaves of an unknown tree. In the original description there was no mention of a pore plate on sternite VIII of males, but all of the type specimens were checked here and the males do not have a pore plate. This species has one pair of postocular setae (Fig. 2) like other Liothrips, whereas the original drawing indicated the presence of two pairs (Han 1988, fig. 4). With the mid and hind tibiae dark brown but yellow at base and apices, this species is easily differentiated from other Chinese Liothrips species .

Specimens studied. CHINA, Tibet, Bomi County, holotype male, from leaves of an unknown tree, 6.ix.1973, F.S. Huang (NZMC); paratypes: two females and 11 males with same data as holotype (NZMC) .
