Logadothrips Priesner

( Fig. 108 )

Logadothrips Priesner, 1929b: 190 . Type species: Logadothrips karnyellus Priesner , by monotypy. This genus is based on a single species that is known only from one female, taken in Sumatra, Indonesia. It is interpreted here as a member of the Haplothripini , in view of the character states listed below. However, the available individual appears to be depressed dorso-ventrally as in Psalidothrips species , and the pronotal am and aa setae are very small, but unlike species of that genus the maxillary palps are not short and stout ( Fig. 108 ).

Diagnosis: Head a little wider than long ( Fig. 108 ); eyes normal, postocular setae wide apart and as long as eye; stylets 0.75 of head width apart, retracted almost to postocular setae; antennae 8-segmented, III with 3 sensoria, IV with 4; pronotum with 3 pairs of major setae developed, am and aa minute, notopleural sutures complete; basantra present; mesopresternum transverse; sternopleural sutures absent; fore tarsal tooth absent in female; fore wings constricted medially, with duplicated cilia; pelta slightly hat-shaped; tergites II–VII with 2 pairs of wing-retaining setae, tergite IX setae longer than tube; tube with straight sides, slightly shorter than head.
