Heterothrips angusticeps Hood, 1954

This species is remarkable in having the pale basal half of antennal segment III subdivided into several parts (Fig. 53). The sensoria on antennal segments III–IV consist of a single row of pores, and the fore wings are pale basally. The male is similar to the female in color, but abdominal sternites VII–VIII have transverse pore plates (Fig. 54). No information about the host plant is available, neither in the original description nor on the slide labels of the specimens studied.

Material examined. Holotype female, Brazil, Santa Catarina, Nova Teutônia, 17-18.xi.1949, (F. Plaumann) (USNM). Paratypes: 4 females, 1 male, collected with holotype (USNM).
