Leptothrips pini (Watson) View in CoL

Cryptothrips pini Watson, 1915: 49 View in CoL .

Zygothrips floridensis Watson, 1922: 22 View in CoL . Synonymised by Johansen (1987: 97).

Described from Florida, and recorded from Virginia and Maryland, in association with species of Pinus View in CoL , there are specimens in ERMR from Texas, taken on Pinus taeda View in CoL at Smithville, and on Pinus View in CoL sp. at Blossom. The following have also been studied (in USNM): one specimen from Arizona, one from Georgia, five from New York and three from South Carolina. This species shares with singularis View in CoL the presence of only two sense cones on the fourth antennal segment. The pronotum lacks sculptured striae medially but is strongly striate anterolaterally, the fore wing is pale at the base, but the apex of antennal segment III is shaded brown.
