Liothrips disjunctus Hood, 1918: 134 View in CoL

Described from a single female taken on Thursday Island, Torres Strait, Queensland, this species is now recognised as the pest thrips that induces leaves to curl and turn red on Callistemon citrinum , a common garden shrub in Australia and New Zealand. A full redescription based on New Zealand specimens was given by Mound & Walker (1986). The species has the maxillary stylets retracted into the head rather less deeply than in many similar species ( Fig. 21 View FIGURES 17 – 22 ).
