D31F8726FFC7EF77C4F5FC1BFA97F84A.taxon	discussion	Comments. This species is closely related to peixotoa in having fore wings largely pale and lacking ocellar setae I on head. However, it can be distinguished easily by the single row of sensorial pores on antennal segments III – IV. Moreover, albipennis metapleura contrasts with peixotoa in lacking dense rows of microtrichia. This new species is commonly found in female flowers of Croton gnaphalii (Euphorbiaceae) during warm seasons.	en	Pereyra, Veronica, Cavalleri, Adriano (2012): The genus Heterothrips (Thysanoptera) in Brazil, with an identification key and seven new species.

D31F8726FFCBEF7BC4F5FD82FE33F8CC.taxon	discussion	Comments. Larvae and adults are very abundant in Borreria inflorescences (Rubiaceae) and seem to co-exist with Haplothrips spp. This species is possibly related to savanicus which also breeds in flowers of herbaceous Rubiaceae. The shape of the antennal segments, as well the single row of minute sensorial pores on antennal segments III – IV, is quite similar between these species. However, differences can be observed in antennal coloration and the presence of continuous craspedal lobes on the posterior margin of the abdominal tergites, contrasting with the lateral entire craspeda of savanicus. The other Brazilian species with continuous craspedal lobes is marginatus, and differences between these two species include coloration and differences in the median area of the abdominal tergites: for australis it is reticulate with few microtrichia, whereas for marginatus there is no reticulation or microtrichia (Fig. 45).	en	Pereyra, Veronica, Cavalleri, Adriano (2012): The genus Heterothrips (Thysanoptera) in Brazil, with an identification key and seven new species.

D31F8726FFCEEF7DC4F5F965FCC4FB02.taxon	discussion	Comments. Collected from two different members of the Malpighiaceae, this species shows variation in antennal segment II coloration, ranging from pale to light brown. As in peixotoa, this species lacks ocellar setae I on the head and antennal segments III – IV bear two rows of well-developed sensorial pores. Both species also have an independent fringe of microtrichia on the posterior margin of the abdominal tergites, and the metapleura are covered with fine and delicate microtrichia. However, paulistarum has the fore wings extensively brown, with a distinct sub-basal pale area. Males are similar to bicolor in coloration and structure, but the paired dorsal processes on abdominal tergite IX are more developed, as in the North American species analis and vitis. These finger-like projections are presumably associated with copulatory behavior.	en	Pereyra, Veronica, Cavalleri, Adriano (2012): The genus Heterothrips (Thysanoptera) in Brazil, with an identification key and seven new species.

D31F8726FFCDEF62C4F5FB52FDF8FD26.taxon	discussion	Comments. This new species has been collected with paulistarum from two species of Malpighiaceae. The elongated pedicel on antennal segment III is similar to that found in prosopidis, but the segment is much wider at the apex than the base, unlike in prosopidis. The abdominal tergites have similar lateral craspedal lobes, but the microtrichia are smaller in pedicellatus than in prosopidis. The general coloration is similar in these two species, as well as the form of the terminal abdominal segment. The metanotal sculpture of pedicellatus is similar to that found in flavicornis with a central triangular area, although they feature different reticulation patterns. Like the other Brazilian species obscurus, pedicellatus presents lateral craspedal lobes on the posterior margins of the abdominal tergites, although these two species differ in the antennal coloration and the length of antennal segment III pedicel (which is remarkably longer in pedicellatus). Moreover, the microtrichia on abdominal craspedum are slightly smaller in pedicellatus than in obscurus.	en	Pereyra, Veronica, Cavalleri, Adriano (2012): The genus Heterothrips (Thysanoptera) in Brazil, with an identification key and seven new species.

D31F8726FFD2EF61C4F5FB68FD4DF81E.taxon	discussion	Comments. This new species is similar to striatus and brasiliensis in having bicolored fore wings, discal setae on abdominal sternites, and no sternal pore plates in males. However, sanctaecatharinae has an unusually short antennal segment IV and pronotum bears reticulate sculpture, rather than striate. The mesonotum is also not so closely striate, and the metanotal sculpture does not form a triangle. The adults are common inside flowers of S. sanctaecatharinae, beneath the large yellow stamens.	en	Pereyra, Veronica, Cavalleri, Adriano (2012): The genus Heterothrips (Thysanoptera) in Brazil, with an identification key and seven new species.

D31F8726FFD0EF60C4F5FF31FD86FBAC.taxon	discussion	Comments. This new species has undivided tergal craspeda while most of the described Brazilian species have a comb of microtrichia or craspedal lobes on the posterolateral margins of the tergites. Abdominal tergite VIII has a lateral craspeda and microtrichia posteromedially, rather than the usual independent regular row of microtrichia. Apparently related to australis, this species was found living in the small flowers of an herbaceous Rubiaceae together with Haplothrips gowdeyi.	en	Pereyra, Veronica, Cavalleri, Adriano (2012): The genus Heterothrips (Thysanoptera) in Brazil, with an identification key and seven new species.
