The synonymy of  parisae is based on the type specimens (Figs 7–15). One male listed but misidentified by Goldarazena (2013) as  longistylosus has been re-examined. Contrary to that publication, this male has pore plates only on sternites III–VII, not on VIII. The species  acuminatus shares with the two species previously placed in  Nigritothrips the presence of tergal and sternal posteroangular setae slightly in front of the margins. This condition is also found in  Rubiothrips parisae, resulting in the synonymy given above. In contrast, these setae are marginal in all the species previously placed in  Rubiothrips . Females of the two species placed in  Nigritothrips have antennal segments V and VI closely approximated, but this is less so for the males (Figs 3–4). The antennal segments also have fewer microtrichia than are found in  acuminatus and other species here considered members of  Belothrips .</p><p>Specimens examined.

However, considering that these comparisons were based mainly on females, and that only one female of  zurstrasseni is known, then some of these differences become unconvincing. This applies to the first two characters, the relative lengths of sense cones on antennal segments V and VI, and also to the fifth character—density of microtrichia on the antennal segments surface. The third and fourth characters listed refer to the relative lengths of segments VI and VII, but apply only to the holotype female and not to the two paratype males of  zurstrasseni (Figs 1–4). Character state differences six and seven are also based on the single female and could be expected to be due to individual variation. As a result, it is concluded here that there is insufficient evidence to consider the holotype female of  zurstrasseni as a different species from  longistylosus, and the name is therefore listed as a synonym.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DEA12FFF8CFFE9CFDEFEA0430FFCF9	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The web site of the Senckenberg Museum indicates the presence of only a single slide of  morio, but through the courtesy of Nikolai Ignatev of that Museum seven slides bearing the identification  morio by zur Strassen were found in the Senckenberg collections (Fig. 16). These seven slides bear specimens from Finland, Sweden, Poland, Czech Republic and Western Canada, and this record of  morio from Canada, Alberta, was published by Chiasson (1986: 53). However, Canada was not mentioned by zur Strassen (2003) although that record includes the only male of  morio available. The character states used in the 2003 key to distinguish  morio are far from robust, particularly considering the few specimens available all of which lack host data. The validity of the species will remain in doubt until further information becomes available, such as good population samples and host data.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DEA12FFF8CFFE9CFDEFC2D44EBFA3F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
