Type species Physothrips hargreavesi Karny, by monotypy.</p> <p>Craspedothrips (Antenothrips) Bhatti, 1995: 76. Type species Physothrips antennatus Bagnall by original designation.</p> <p>This genus was erected for a single species that is known to be widespread across Africa. Subsequently, a second species, described originally from India, was transferred into the genus (Mound 1968), and Bhatti (1978) redefined Craspedothips to include three further previously described species, two African and one Asian, and later (Bhatti 1995) included another two African species.</p> <p>The genus is considered to be related to Pezothrips and Ceratothripoides within the Megalurothrips genus-group (Mound &amp; Palmer 1981), particularly because of the presence of a pair of dorso-apical setae on the first antennal segment. However, in contrast to Megalurothrips species, no species of Craspedothrips has a group of microtrichia in irregular rows anterolateral to each spiracle, and there is no posteromarginal comb on tergite VIII. In contrast, most species of Craspedothrips have a distinct ctenidium-like row of microtrichia anterior to each spiracle on tergite VIII (Fig. 17), these being particularly well-developed in hargreavesi, but absent in antennalis and xanthocerus, and variably weak in the other species. Moreover, Neotropical species currently placed in Retanathrips Mound &amp; Nickle (2009) are also related, and future studies, preferably incorporating molecular data, will need to consider the possibility that a single pantropical lineage is involved.</p> <p>Also related are the Oriental genera, Aroidothrips and Filipinothrips, in which the species have paired dorsoapical setae on antennal segment I, three sensoria on segment V, an irregular group of microtrichia near the spiracles on tergite VIII, and sexually dimorphic antennae. Mycterothrips species similarly share the character state of antennal segment I, and many species in that genus exhibit sexual dimorphism in the antennae (Masumoto &amp; Okajima 2006). Species of the grass-associated genus, Plesiothrips, also exhibit these two states, but males of Plesiothrips species have a pair of drepanae on tergite IX, similar to those of Trichromothrips species, and these two genera are possibly less closely related to Craspedothrips. Relationships among these genera of Thripinae remain far from clear.</p> <p>The subgenus Antennothrips was erected for two African species in which females differ from the other members of the genus in lacking craspeda on the posterior margins of the tergites (Figs 7, 32) and sternites, and a third species with this condition is described below (Fig. 25). Males are not known for these three species, and males are known for only two species in the nominate genus. The males of one have no craspeda on the tergites or sternites, but the males of the other have craspeda on the tergites but not the sternites; the presence or absence of craspeda is thus probably not a good indicator of relationships in this group of species. One of the two species assigned originally to Antennothrips is unusual in lacking ocellar setae pair I (Fig. 30). This condition is also shared by one species currently placed in Craspedothrips but that is unique in the genus in having a comb of microtrichia on the posterior margin of the eighth tergite. Considering this structural diversity, and the fact that three new species of Craspedothrips were discovered during one short visit to Kenya (by S.O.), it seems likely that the diversity of African Thripinae remains poorly explored. The chaetotaxy of the fore wing is stable among species of Craspedothrips: first vein with 4 setae near base, then a short gap followed by a row of about 14–18 setae (rarely as few as 10), then a sub-apical gap followed by 2 setae; second vein with about 13–17 setae; clavus with 5 marginal and 1 discal setae.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B78D43FF9BFF88FF44E5ACFF05F84A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

One of these females (in SMF), designated Lectotype by Bhatti (1978: 165), has been studied. It is slide mounted with the abdomen rather crushed and dissociated from the laterally orientated head and thorax. The base of the only preserved fore wing is not visible. This lectotype has been compared with the females listed below from northern Australia, also with two from Bali. The females from Bali have on tergite IX two pairs of campaniform sensilla, whereas the lectotype and the females from Australia have only the posterior pair on this tergite. The sensoria on antennal segment III are slightly longer than this segment in the lectotype and also the females from Bali, but they are shorter and fatter, and slightly shorter than the segment in the specimens from Australia. In view of the widespread distributions of some other thrips species from northern Australia across Southeast Asia thrips (Mound &amp; Tree 2011), it seems best to consider all these specimens as conspecific. The Australian specimens, also from Apocynaceae, have long teeth on the pleurotergites similar to those of the lectotype, but the hind tibiae vary within the series from almost clear yellow to light brown in the basal half. The females from Bali are smaller and paler with yellow tibiae.</p> <p>Specimens studied.

These females were collected in Uganda in association with a rust fungus on the leaves of coffee plants (Mound 1968). Females, but no males, have also been studied from the leaves of coffee plants from Kenya, Tanzania and Angola (in BMNH). The thrips appears to be associated with Hemileia vastatrix on the leaves of this crop, and a similar association is reported for xanthocerus. Clear illustrations of the head and thoracic tergites were given by Bhatti (1995), and the antenna is similar in structure and proportions to that of antennalis (Figs 2, 5). The head chaetotaxy is particularly unusual, ocellar setae pair I arise far forward on the head and are particularly minute. Ocellar setae pair III arise between the anterior margins of the posterior pair of ocelli, but pair II arise on the anterior margins of the triangle not close to the compound eyes.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B78D43FF9DFF8EFF44E4E7FF10FD6F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The single female from Uganda on which xanthocerus was based has been examined (in USNM), but the type material of carvalhoi from Angola is not in the Paris Museum and has not been studied. Despite that, there is little doubt about the identity of this species and the above synonymy is based on a long series of xanthocerus from Coffea robusta in Angola (in BMNH). Also the following have been studied (in BMNH): Uganda - a long series from the underside of leaves of Coffea arabica; Tanzania —a series from coffee leaves in association with Hemileia vastatrix; Kenya — three females in association with Hemileia vastatrix at the coffee research station, Kisii. The association of both xanthocerus and antennatus with this coffee fungus remains unclear, whether it involves feeding on the spores or feeding on damaged leaf tissues as is known for some Panchaetothripinae species. Antennal segments III–VI (Fig. 33) are unusually pale in xanthocerus, the pronotal discal area lacks setae and sculpture lines, the metascutum is weakly sculptured (Fig. 31), and on sternite VII setae S2 arise in front of the posterior margin by a distance equal to about twice the diameter of their basal pores. This species shares with ghesquierei the unusual condition of lacking a pair of setae in front of the first ocellus.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B78D43FF92FF86FF44E2B6FC47FE39	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
