Gynaikothrips adusticornis Karny, 1916: 21 View in CoL .

This species was described from Java, and subsequently recorded from Fujian and Hainan, China ( Zhang et al. 1999) but with no description. These records were later repeated by Mirab-balou (2011), but with no additional information. No slides have been studied here from the collections of South China Agricultural University ( Zhang et al. 1999), but one female and one male from Hong Kong are here identified as this species, taken on Gnetum luofuense View in CoL —the same plant genus as for the syntype listed below. In contrast to the syntype female, the Hong Kong specimens have the sense cones on the antennal segments elongate, about 2/3 as long as their segments, and the postocular setae shorter than the eyes, whereas the syntype has the sense cones less than half the length of their segments ( Fig. 22 View FIGURES 22–41 ), and the postocular setae as long as the eyes ( Fig. 1 View FIGURES 1–8 ).
