Liothrips threobrevis nom.nov. : (78) head; (79) pronotum; (80) mesopresternum; (81) pelta; (82) tergite II; (83) shape of antenna. Female macroptera . Body length 1.8–2.5 mm .

Specimens examined. Taiwan , Taihoku ( Taipei ), 1 female from Vitex sp., 20.xi.1925 (Takahashi) ; Xinshe ( Taichung ), 10 females , 2 males from Hemsley’s Rockvine ( Tetrastigma ) ( Vitaceae ), 22.viii.2002 . Comments. Gynaikothrips claripennis Karny , described from Java, was recorded from Taiwan by Moulton (1928a) , based on specimens taken with the female listed above from Vitex on 20.xi.1925 . Priesner (1968) recognized this misidentification and proposed the new name, L . vitivorus , for these specimens.
