Heterothrips varitibia Moulton, 1932

This poorly studied species is known only from few specimens collected in São Paulo (Fig. 82). The pronotal sculpture is weak (Fig. 85), and abdominal tergite IX is remarkably longer than X (Fig. 82). Males are similar to females in coloration and lack pore plates on abdominal sternites.

Material examined. Paratypes: 1 female, 4 males, Brazil, São Paulo, viii.1929, on “jurubeba” (herbaceous Solanaceae) (J.P. da Fonseca) (CAS and USNM).
