Neocecidothrips Bagnall

Neocecidothrips Bagnall, 1929: 186 . Type species Eothrips bursariae Moulton by monotypy.

This genus was distinguished from Teuchothrips by Bagnall because of “the form of the antennae which have the intermediate joints much as in other gall-making genera”. The two species now recognised in Neocecidothrips differ from the other members of the Teuchothrips complex in having two major sensoria on both the third and fourth antennal segments (Fig. 26), and in having the glandular area of males on the posterior half of the eighth abdominal sternite (Fig. 28), rather than the anterior half.
