Description
Summary:Haplothrips gowdeyi (Franklin) Anthothrips gowdeyi Franklin, 1908: 724 (Fig. 17) Males of this species have been found mainly in Africa (Mound & Marullo 1996), and the species presumably originated on that continent. It is particularly common in countries around the Caribbean and is widespread in tropical countries around the world. Eight synonyms are recognised (ThripsWiki 2019), but there is little information available concerning its biology, although adults with larvae have been taken in the flowers of various Asteraceae as well as Poaceae (Mound & Wells 2015). Among the species of Haplothrips with two sense cones on the third antennal segment it is usually readily distinguished by the small, almost spherical segment III (Fig. 17), the yellow colour and large size of segment IV, and the long, pointed setae on tergite IX that extend to the apex of the tube. : Published as part of Mound, Laurence A., 2019, Identification of Haplothrips species from Malesia (Thysanoptera, Phlaeothripinae), pp. 41-50 in Zootaxa 4623 (1) on page 46, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4623.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/3253558 : {"references": ["Franklin, H.
