Vulgatothrips dissimilis (Hu & Feng) Comb. n.

Ctenothrips dissimilis Hu & Feng, 2014: 263 .

(Figs 7, 64)

This species was found in the southern mountain areas of Shaanxi Province, China. Although distinguished by the 7-segmented antennae, it shares the following character states with V. shennongjiaensis: postocular setae arising in a transverse row, pair I usually absent, pair IV longest; weak reticulation on relatively paler body surface. These two species were found in the same series of mountains, and their relationships require further study.

Material examined: CHINA, Shaanxi, Mt. Taibai, alt. 2250m, 1 paratype female collected from weeds, 15.vii.2002 (G.L. Zhang) (NWAFU) .
