Karnyothrips expandosus Reyes View in CoL

Karnyothrips expandosus Reyes, 1994: 425–426 View in CoL .

This species was described from Luzon Is., the Philippines, based on macropterous two females and two males collected on Saccharum spontaneum View in CoL . Unfortunately, the specimens are not studied in this study, but Laurence Mound kindly checked the two original specimens for this study. It has the prothoracic anteromarginal setae well developed and expanded, and is undoubtedly not included in the genus Karnyothrips View in CoL . The generic position of it is uncertain because the original description and the figures are insufficient for discrimination. However, it seems to be a Haplothrips species, but with long terminal tube setae which are almost twice as long as tube (Laurence Mound, pers. com.).
