Haplothrips collyerae Mound & Walker, 1986: 40

Described from New Zealand, the larvae of this species have been recorded in Tasmania as predatory on the European thrips, Sericothrips staphylinus View in CoL , a species that is useful in the biological control of the weedy shrub, Ulex europea ( Mound & Minaei 2007) . As with acaciae View in CoL discussed above, and gahniae View in CoL below, the presence on antennal segments III and IV of only two major sense cones suggests that these species are probably unrelated to the many species of genus Haplothrips View in CoL .
