Phylladothrips fasciae Okajima, 1988: 709.

Material examined.

Holotype, ♀ (TUA), Indonesia, Central Sulawesi , on dead leaves and branches, 16.viii.1984 (S. Okajima); paratypes, 1♀ 1♂ (TUA), with the same data as holotype; 1♀ 1♂ (SNUT), CHINA, Xizang, Motuo County, on dry leaves and grasses, 20.vii.2022 (Y.Q. Li).

Comments.

This species, described originally from Sulawesi, Indonesia on dead leaves and branches, can be distinguished easily by abdominal tergite II yellow in contrast to the rest of the brown body. By comparing the types of P. fasciae , one female and male from Xizang are here identified as this species, representing the first record of this species from China. The male has some different characters, such as abdominal tergite III yellowish brown (Fig. 20 ), between clear yellow II and brown IV, fore and hind femora clear yellow, and S2 (75 μm) slightly longer than S1 (65 μm) on tergite IX (Fig. 22 ).
