03820973FFB8FFF6D9F086B5FCB889EE.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet, dentiellus, is from the Latin adjective, meaning “ small tooth ”, in reference to the fore tarsus with a small tooth in both sexes.	en	Zhao, Chao, Jia, Huimin, Tong, Xiaoli (2018): Two new records and one new species of the genus Apelaunothrips from China (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae).

03820973FFB8FFF6D9F086B5FCB889EE.taxon	discussion	Comments. This new species appears to be closely related to Apelaunothrips maculipennis in coloration and structure. However, it differs from the latter mainly by the following characteristics: (1) fore wing without small speckles on apical third (Fig. 13), while maculipennis has some small speckles on fore wing (Fig. 14); (2) all tibiae and tarsi yellow (Figs 18, 19), while those in maculipennis are brown (Figs 22, 23); (3) fore tarsus armed with a small tooth in both sexes (Fig. 2), while the fore tarsus has no tooth in maculipennis (Fig. 9); (4) pelta hat-shaped (Fig. 4), but it is eroded laterally in maculipennis (Fig. 10).	en	Zhao, Chao, Jia, Huimin, Tong, Xiaoli (2018): Two new records and one new species of the genus Apelaunothrips from China (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae).

03820973FFBFFFF0D9F087ADFC6A8D0A.taxon	discussion	Comments. Described in the genus Philothrips from southern India (Ananthakrishnan 1968), this species was transferred to Apelaunothrips by Mound (1974). The 9 specimens (including 7 males) listed above are here identified from the original description (Ananthakrishnan 1968). This species is very similar to A. lieni Okajima from Taiwan (Okajima 1979) in sharing the coloration and the antennal segments III and IV each having 2 sense cones (Figs 6, 16). However, the numbers of setae on the metanotum could be easily separated from each other (Figs 11 – 12). It is worth mentioning here, there are 12 – 14 setae (Fig. 12) on the metanotum of A. lieni after examining Taiwanese specimens of lieni (female and male) provided by Okajima, therefore, at couplet 15 of the key to the world species of Apelaunothrips by Okajima (1979), the word “ mesonotum ” of lieni and indicus is obviously a misspelling of “ metanotum ” (see also Okajima 1979 on page 50).	en	Zhao, Chao, Jia, Huimin, Tong, Xiaoli (2018): Two new records and one new species of the genus Apelaunothrips from China (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae).

Originally described from Ryukyu Islands, Japan, the specimens listed above from Hainan Island, China are here identified from original description (Okajima 1976, 1979). This species appears to be most similar in appearance to A. dentiellus sp. n., but they can be readily distinguished from each other by the above comments of the new species.	en	Zhao, Chao, Jia, Huimin, Tong, Xiaoli (2018): Two new records and one new species of the genus Apelaunothrips from China (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae).
