Type species Phloeothrips setinodis Reuter, by subsequent designation of Hood, 1918: 131.</p><p>The earliest species of Liothrips recorded from China (Taiwan) were malloti, malloti var. flavicornis and terminaliae by Moulton (1928a), of which the first two are now treated as synonyms of L. brevitubus, and the third has been transferred to Liophloeothrips (Priesner 1968) (Wang &amp; Lin 2020) . Additionally, Moulton (1928a; 1928b) described several species in Gynaikothrips from Taiwan, of which three are now placed in Liothrips, L. kuwayamai, L. takahashii and L. kuwanai, of which the latter was synonymised with L. pallipes by Mound (2020). Zhang studied thrips specimens collected from southern China, among which five valid species of Liothrips were recorded (Zhang 1984; Zhang et al. 1999). Finally, Han focused on southwest part of China, and described seven valid species (Han 1988, 1993, 1997a, 1997b). After that, no one tried to review this large genus across China, until 2020, when 12 species were recorded from Taiwan including two new species (Wang &amp; Lin 2020). Based on the above studies, we here try to clarify the diversity of this genus in China including 33 species in total, of which five are known only from Taiwan (Table S1).</p><p>Generic diagnosis: Medium sized, usually dark and macropterous. Antennae 8-segmented, VIII much shorter than VII (Figs 31–40), and broad at base, III–IV with one and three major sense cones respectively (Figs 22–30, 41), IV rarely with two. Head length various, ranged from broader than long to about twice as long as wide (Figs 1–13, 15–21); usually transversely striate or weakly reticulate; usually with one pair of long postocular setae (rarely 2 or 0); eyes well-developed; maxillary stylets retracted halfway to postocular setae or eyes, close together or wide apart. Pronotum usually with 5 pairs of major setae (Figs 42–46, 49–52), sometimes am or aa or pa reduced (Figs 47, 48), rarely only epim developed, notopleural sutures complete; basantra absent, ferna large, mesopresternum transverse or divided into two triangles (Figs 53–58, 61–68); metathoracic sternopleural sutures usually well developed (Figs 66–68), rarely absent. Fore tarsal tooth absent in both sexes; fore wings not constricted medially, usually with many duplicated cilia. Pelta triangular (Figs 69–87), tergites II–VII each with 2 pairs of sigmoid wing-retaining setae; IX with setae S1 and S2 usually long and pointed (Figs 97–102); tube usually shorter than head, anal setae usually as long as tube or shorter. Male sternite VIII usually with large pore plate (Figs 91, 94–96), rarely small or absent, sometimes tergite VIII with a pair of pore plate as well (Figs 92, 93).</p><p>Key to Liothrips species of China</p><p>(* indicates species not seen; L. hsuae is excluded; L. mirabilis is included due to its pest potential of Piper plants grown throughout southern China.)</p><p>1.

Due to its long maxillary stylets, that are close together in the head, and the presence of five pairs of rather small pronotal major setae with knobbed apices, this species was associated initially with Psephenothrips . Members of that genus, however, are characterized by the following features: (1) antennal segment VIII elongate and constricted at base, (2) mesopresternum transverse and protruding medially, (3) metanotum sculptured with polygonal reticulation and (4) sternite VIII in males without a pore plate. In contrast, this species has the following character states: (1) antennal segment VIII short and broadly joined to VII, (2) mesopresternum eroded medially and (3) metanotum sculptured with longitudinal reticulation (Fig. 53). Moreover, (4) the males from Guangdong listed below have a large pore plate as in males of Liothrips (Fig. 96). Furthermore, three of the new species described in this study have a very short head similar to L. aporosae and they all have typical characters states of Liothrips ( L. populi sp. n., L. brevis sp. n. and L. longistylus sp. n.). Therefore, aporosae is placed here as a new combination in Liothrips .</p><p>Specimens studied.

It is known to have unusually elongate sense cones on antennal segments III and IV that are about two thirds as long as their segments (Fig. 28), and the maxillary stylets are long and close together medially (Fig. 21). According to these characters, the specimens listed below from Kunming are identified as L. piperinus, but they have a few differences from the holotype female: setae S1 on tergite IX about 0.6 times as long as tube, also mid and hind tibiae yellow on apical 1/4–1/3 (in holotype, S1 on tergite IX about 0.8 time as long as tube (Fig. 100), and mid and hind tibiae yellow on apical one seventh). However, they are very similar to two specimens from Japan, showing various lengths of postocular setae. L. piperinus was described originally from a species of Piper but recorded on Elaeocarpus and Castanopsis by Okajima (2006), and as living in Ficus leaf-galls by Zhang (1984). In Yunnan, many specimens were found in leaf galls on Smilax glaucochina .

By comparing the paratypes with paratypes of L. hagai, also three slides of L. setinodis collected from England, this species has the mesopresternum eroded with a narrow connection medially rather than divided into two lateral triangular plates. However, one female of L. setinodis has the mesopresternum narrowly connected medially (Fig. 62), and this is probably intraspecific variation. However, L. rohdeae is considered to be a valid species having been collected only on the specific plant, Rohdea japonica . More studies, including molecular data, are needed to verify these three species. According to morphological aspects, two males from Sichuan are extremely similar to the paratypes of L. rohdeae, and this species is newly recorded from China.</p><p>Specimens studied.

However, a few males from China show variation; base of mid and hind tibiae paler; postocellar setae elongate, about twice as long as diameter of an ocellus, median setae between postocular setae the same length; mid and hind tibiae yellow on apical half; setae S1–S3 on tergite IX sometimes shorter than tube.</p><p>Specimens studied.

The wingless female and male from Ningxia listed below have been compared to the syntype listed, and all known specimens of the species have a well-developed slender fore tarsal tooth (Fig. 14).
