Haplothrips imperatae Priesner

Haplothrips imperatae Priesner, 1933: 354

Described from both sexes collected on Imperata exaltata, at Medan, Sumatra, syntypes from this series were studied at the Senckenberg Museum in July 2018. The species is one of the members of Haplothrips in which the stylets are deeply retracted into the head and are very close together medially. The available specimens are not good slide mounts, but this species appears to share several character states with H. jordani, from which it is distinguished in the key above.
