Mystrothrips dilatus Mound

(Figs 16–18)

Mystrothrips dilatus Mound, 1970: 100 Known only from a single micropterous female taken on the Solomon Islands, the body structure and sculpture of this species is closely similar to that of dammermanni . However, the post-ocellar setae are as broad and capitate as the postocular setae (Fig. 16), and the tergal lateral setae are unusually short (Figs 17, 18). The holotype was loaned from the Natural History Museum, London, to prepare in Canberra the images given here.
