Bradinothrips Hood

Only two species are recognized in this genus, and both are known from Brazil. They have the antennae 8-segmented, and segments III and IV bear a forked sense cone, IV and an additional long sense cone at the inner apical margin ( Fig. 36 ). The head is reticulate only posteriorly, the pronotum has two pairs of long posteroangular setae, and the setal rows are incomplete on both fore wing veins. Described by Hood (1954) as a monotypic genus closely related to Caliothrips , in “ Heliothrips -group”, but Wilson (1975) included it in Thripinae due to the presence of a mesothoracic spinula and long pronotal posteroangular setae. It is now placed in the Panchaetothripinae tribe Monilothripini after a phylogenetic analysis ( Zhang et al. 2019b). It shares with species of Monilothrips and Zaniothrips the presence of prominent setae on the pronotum and lack of sculpture on the ocellar triangle ( Zhang et al. 2019b).
