Craspedothrips ghesquierei (Priesner) View in CoL

Taeniothrips ghesquierei Priesner, 1937: 202 View in CoL

Although transferred to Craspedothrips View in CoL by Mound (2010), this species is unique within this genus in having a comb of microtrichia on the posterior margin of the eighth abdominal tergite. It shares with the other members of the genus the presence on the first antennal segment of a pair of dorso-apical setae, and it shares with xanthocerus View in CoL the absence of a pair of setae in front of the first ocellus. Known only from a single female collected in Congo Republic, this species is also related to Ceratothripoides View in CoL , but it does not fit satisfactorily into any known genus.
