Teuchothrips badiipennis Hood View in CoL

Teuchothrips badiipennis Hood, 1919: 87 View in CoL

Described on three females from Brooklyn, NSW with no host data, this species is now recognised as one of two species associated with small galls on the buds of the common shrub, Bursaria spinosa View in CoL . This conclusion is based on a comparison of the holotype with a long series of specimens ( Figs 13–14 View FIGURES 10 – 16 ) from Black Mountain in Canberra, ACT. Both sexes can be long or short-winged, and major males have a small tubercle at the apex of the fore tibia and a large glandular area occupying the anterior half of the eighth sternite.
