F30F465DFFE5FFA3BEF6752AFB4CFEE0.taxon	discussion	Comments. Described from Taiwan, this species is also known from Japan, Ryukyu Islands (Okajima 2006). The original description by Moulton clearly indicated that the fore tarsus has a minute and blunt tooth (Moulton 1928 a), and recent observations has confirmed that this tooth is present in both sexes. Moreover, tergite IX setae S 1 and S 2 are blunt or expanded. For these reasons this species is here transferred from Liothrips.	en	Wang, Chin-Ling, Lin, Feng-Chyi (2020): Genera and species of the Liothrips lineage (Thysanoptera, Phlaeothripinae) from Taiwan.

F30F465DFFE7FFACBEF676CFFC7BFEBD.taxon	discussion	Comments. The form of the metanotal striae is different in this species from most Liothrips species. It is similar to L. floridensis but they can be distinguished by their colours and shape of the mesopresternum. The new species has antennal segments V and VI half yellow and half brown, and brownish fore wings, whereas L. floridensis has antennal segments V and VI yellow, and completely transparent fore wings. Moreover, the mesopresternum of dayulingensis is in two parts but in floridensis it is complete (Fig. 32).	en	Wang, Chin-Ling, Lin, Feng-Chyi (2020): Genera and species of the Liothrips lineage (Thysanoptera, Phlaeothripinae) from Taiwan.

Watson identified as L. floridensis some specimens sent to him from Taiwan by Takahashi, although those specimens had somewhat larger and darker setae than the Florida specimens (Watson 1925). Most Liothrips species have yellow tarsi, whereas the brown colour of the mid and hind tarsi of floridensis make this species readily distinguished from others.	en	Wang, Chin-Ling, Lin, Feng-Chyi (2020): Genera and species of the Liothrips lineage (Thysanoptera, Phlaeothripinae) from Taiwan.

F30F465DFFEBFFA9BEF6710AFB9CFD0D.taxon	discussion	Comments. As indicated above, Takahashi described this species from specimens taken on leaves of Heptapleurinum arboricolum (= Schefflera arboricola) at Sozan near Taihoku. Specimens deposited in TARI have the same data as with the original type description, and these specimens are here assumed to be syntypes. Takahashi pointed out that this species differs from heptapleurinus in two insignificant characters: colour of the leaf galls and shapes of the mouth cone (Takahashi 1937). Our further studies showed that these two species can be distinguished as follows: heptapleuricola po setae about 0.5 as long as dorsal length of eyes; pronotal am setae shorter than aa setae; pelta without CPS but with setae present laterally. In contrast, heptapleurinus po setae are longer than eyes; pronotal am setae are longer than aa setae; pelta is with CPS but without setae laterally.	en	Wang, Chin-Ling, Lin, Feng-Chyi (2020): Genera and species of the Liothrips lineage (Thysanoptera, Phlaeothripinae) from Taiwan.
