australis Morgan, 1925

( Figs 23 , 77, 83 , 87 , 117 , 156 )

Abundant in Chile in the flowers of Cestrum parqui ( Ripa et al. 2009) , and also recorded from Argentina. The record of this species from Brazil (Paraná) is based on identification by R. zur Strassen of specimens deposited at the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt. The females of this species are unusual in having a pair of small circular pore plates on abdominal sternite III. Moreover, antennal segment VIII is longer than in other Frankliniella species apart from frumenti , more than 1.5 times longer than VII. The fore wings of males are not distinctively bicoloured.
