983687AD0B6DFFD49BBAFE98FD36FC1B.taxon	discussion	Described from Tabasco state, this was described as the third species of Adraneothrips in Mexico (Johansen 1974). Direct observation allowed us to correct this identification as a new synonymy of Bamboosiella cingulata (Hood). The specimen has a bicolored body, with abdominal segments I – VII yellow and maxillary stylets inserted low on the head (Figs 1 – 2). In addition, it can be distinguished from other congenerics by the well-developed pronotal anteromarginal setae and fore wing without duplicated cilia. Bamboosiella species can be identified using the keys proposed by Pitkin (1977) and Okajima (2006). Apart from the current synonym, in Mexico this species has been recorded in coffee flowers (Infante et al. 2017). Bamboosiella cingulata is common in tropical Asia, but has become widespread on other continents, where it is commonly found at the base of grasses, possibly preying on small arthropods (Mound & Wells 2015). In the Neotropics, it has been reported in Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Trinidad, Panama and Guadeloupe (Mound & Marullo 1996).	en	Lima, Élison Fabrício Bezerra, Alencar, Áquila Rayane Silva De, Rodríguez-Arrieta, Jesús Alexander, Infante, Francisco (2025): Three new synonymies and one new record of Thysanoptera (Insecta) from Mexico.

983687AD0B6DFFD49BBAFC55FB64FA0C.taxon	materials_examined	Material Examined. Mexico. Veracruz: Córdoba, Cuauhtémoc, one female in “ trampa interceptación no. 2 ”, 1. ii. – 6. iii. 2011 (L. Delgado) (IBUNAM). This species has been described recently based on material collected in Costa Rica and deposited in the Natural History Museum (London, United Kingdom), and differs from the other congeneric species by the internal markings on the pronotal reticles (Lima et al. 2023). The additional specimen deposited in IBUNAM (Fig. 3) represents the first record of O. tica in Mexico, which is the second country where the species has been reported. Based on its current distribution, O. tica might be widespread throughout Central America and Mexico.	en	Lima, Élison Fabrício Bezerra, Alencar, Áquila Rayane Silva De, Rodríguez-Arrieta, Jesús Alexander, Infante, Francisco (2025): Three new synonymies and one new record of Thysanoptera (Insecta) from Mexico.

983687AD0B6DFFD69BBAFA60FC67FD98.taxon	discussion	The two new species of Solanithrips described by Johansen (1997) were based on specimens that all belonged to the type series of Bravothrips halffteri, all of which were acquired during a single collecting event (Johansen 1986). Except for one slide pencil-labelled as “ strasseni ”, unfortunately the type specimens of neither of the 1997 species were ever relabelled — there are only code numbers and notes that make it difficult to accurately examine the material. The two additional Solanithrips species in Johansen (1997) were distinguished based especially on the following characters: (i) mouth cone length, (ii) number of setae on the pronotal anterior and posterior margins; and (iii) striation of occipital and metanotal areas. After examining the original series, comprising 16 specimens all labelled as “ Bravothrips halffteri ”, we conclude that these specimens represent only one species. The mouth cone seems to be within the expected degree of variation of one species, and any differences are only an artifact due to the different positions of the specimens’ mouth cones in the mounting medium. Similarly, the level of striation / reticulation on the occipital and metanotal areas is a continuum from parallel to loose reticles, which are not necessarily equally present on both sclerites in the same specimen. Finally, the anteromarginal and posteromarginal setae vary in number and position among individuals and are sometimes bilaterally asymmetrical, as also occurs in other Thysanoptera species. These observations and the fact that all individuals were collected from only one population leads us to propose the two synonyms mentioned above.	en	Lima, Élison Fabrício Bezerra, Alencar, Áquila Rayane Silva De, Rodríguez-Arrieta, Jesús Alexander, Infante, Francisco (2025): Three new synonymies and one new record of Thysanoptera (Insecta) from Mexico.
