Comments.

Described recently from Taiwan, this species was based on three females collected from dead wood. However, as it shares the characteristics of the Liothrips -lineage, it presumably feeds on green leaves. In this study, no specimen was examined, but antennal segments VI-VIII were described as uniformly dark brown and this distinguishes the species within the genus Psephenothrips .
