03DD87997447FFD35DC8E962FEE8FA65.taxon	discussion	Comments. As indicated, this species is very similar in many structural details to L. irukandji but is noticeably different in colour. It is named in recognition of the extensive support provided to thrips studies in Queensland by Cameron Tree.	en	Mound, Laurence A., Tree, Desley J.

03DD87997447FFD35DC8EE3AFE69F919.taxon	discussion	This species remains known only from two females collected in Queensland near Cairns from an unknown plant (Mound 2004). It has a distinctively elongate head with a transverse row of small setae across the vertex, and the tube is exceptionally long.	en	Mound, Laurence A., Tree, Desley J.

03DD87997447FFD35DC8EF26FC18F879.taxon	discussion	This species was described from a series of both sexes taken in curled leaf galls on Diospyros pentamera [Ebenaceae] in coastal rain forest at Taree, New South Wales. However, it was found subsequently in similar leaf-roll galls on the same plant species at Lamington in southeast Queensland. It is unusual amongst members of the genus in having the tube rather short, scarcely six times as long as the basal width.	en	Mound, Laurence A., Tree, Desley J.

03DD87997442FFD65DC8E8BEFEF5FB4D.taxon	discussion	Comments. This species is structurally very similar to L. cameroni, and it lives on the leaves of a tree in the same genus, Syzygium. The two species are strikingly different in colour (Figs 2, 3), but also differ in head shape and the character states indicated in the key above. The name refers to the language of the original people of northern Queensland.	en	Mound, Laurence A., Tree, Desley J.

03DD87997442FFD65DC8ED19FCE2FA5E.taxon	discussion	Described originally from two females taken in a leaf gall on Polyosma cunninghamii [Grossulariaceae] near Brisbane, Queensland, this thrips was found subsequently on the same plant species in rainforests at Lamington near the border with New South Wales. Some of the galls were a remarkable blue colour (Fig. 6), and the species is unusual within the genus in having a fore tarsal tooth, in both sexes.	en	Mound, Laurence A., Tree, Desley J.

03DD87997442FFD65DC8EE69FA88F942.taxon	discussion	This species is known from Lamington and Mt Tambourine, two rainforest localities south of Brisbane, Queensland, breeding in curled leaf-galls on Scolopia braunii [Flacourtiaceae]. It is unusual within the genus in having the proternal basantra well-developed, and in having a number of minor setae on the anterior half of the metanotum.	en	Mound, Laurence A., Tree, Desley J.

03DD87997442FFD65DC8EF1BFEB6F85E.taxon	discussion	The host plant of this thrips, Tetrastigma nitens [Vitaceae], is widespread in rainforest areas of the Australian East coast from Sydney northwards. However, populations of the thrips and the distorted leaf-galls it induces have a patchy distribution. Adults are smaller than those of convergens, with the head and the tube shorter, and the legs uniformly yellow.	en	Mound, Laurence A., Tree, Desley J.
