Scolothrips tenuipennis zur Strassen 1965: 30

Described originally from a single male taken in the Canary Islands, both sexes have been studied (in SMF) from Cape Verde Islands (zur Strassen, 1993). Moreover, a single female (in ANIC) has been seen from Nairobi, Kenya, that seems likely to represent this unique species with its uniformly pale, non-banded, fore wings.
