Helionothrips errans (Williams)

( Figs 3 , 28, 29, 39 )

Body color yellow ( Fig. 3 ). Antennal segment III with setae shorter than the length of the segment. Dorsal setae slightly expanded emerging from tubercles ( Fig. 39 ). Pronotum with no sclerotized blotch. Abdominal tergite II with no spiracles; segments IX–X with setae simple with pointed apex; segment X with six anal setae about as long as or a little longer than the length of the segment ( Fig. 39 ). Spiracles on mesonotum with one or no pore on facet ( Fig. 28 ); on tergite VIII transverse and with no pores ( Fig. 29 ). Immatures from large populations have been collected from orchids in protected cultivations in the state of São Paulo, Brazil (CHNUFPI).
