Ctenothrips Franklin View in CoL ( Thysanoptera : Thripidae ), with 12 worldwide species, is a small genus in the subfamily Thripinae ( Mound, 2012) .

A key for 12 species (females only) of Ctenothrips is already available from Xie et al. (2011). Among them, C. transeolineae and C. leionotus have been described with males as their holotypes; males of C. taibaishanensis , C. frosti , C. bridwelli , and C. distinctus were also known, together with their holotype females, or reported later ( Uzel, 1895; Franklin, 1907; Moulton, 1929; Watson, 1933; Chen, 1979; Tong and Zhang, 1992; Feng et al., 2003; zur Strassen, 2003); the male and macropterous female of C. smilax were reported by Hu and Feng (2011). Males of 5 species remain unknown: C. cornipennis , C. kwanzanensis , C. nonnae , C. guizhouensis , and C. niger ( Takahashi, 1937; Kudô, 1977; Haga and Okajima, 1989; Han, 1997; Xie et al., 2011). In the present paper, the male of C. niger is described and illustrated for the first time, which represents the first record of the species C. niger from China.
