Taxonomic Study On The Chinese Haplothripini

This paper deals with a taxonomical study on the Chinese thrips of the tribe Haplothripini . It includes the following parts: resume, materials and methods, result and discussion. Firstly, the history and present situation both in China and abroad, biological character, economic importance and taxonomic character are reviewed and outlined. Secondly, in the taxonomy part, 47 species of 12 genera in the tribe Haplothripini from China have been identified and described, of which 17 species are new to science, 6 species are newly recorded from China. Keys are given to all genera and species concerned. The male genitalia of some species have been illustrated supplementarily. Phylogenetic analysis of 12 genera of Haplothripini is originally carried out in the paper, 3 cladogram are obtained. The results show that the genera Stigmothrips and Bamboosiella would be removed from Haplothripini, all the other 10 genera is a monophyletic group and can be categorized into three groups: Apterygothrips group, Haplothrips group, Androthrips group. Apterygothrips group contains Apterygothrips. Haplothrips group contains Neoheegeria, Dolichothrips, Xylaplothrips and Haplothrips. Androthrips group contains Podothrips, Praepodothrips, Karngothrips, Bagnalliella and Androthrips. Intergenera relationships in Haplothrips group and Apterygothrips group are consistent with the present knowledge, but relationships in Androthrips group need to be further studied.New species: Androthrips guiyangensis Bamboosiella brevibristla Dolichothrips apeventricosus Dolichothrips longibristlus Dolichothrips shaanensis Dolichothrips henanensis Dolichothrips flavescenus Neoheegeria contractas Neoheegeria anshunensis Praepodothrips bicolorum Praepodothrips longus Praepadothrips scalariformus Praepodothrips baotouensis Podothrips triangularus Stigmothrips cupuliformus Xylaplothrips nanningensis Xylaplothrips campanulatus,New records:Bamboosiella exastis (Ananthakrishnan & Kudo), Haplothrips defractus Schliephake et Idimt Haplothrips limisniastri PriesnerHaplothrips tolerabilis Priesne Neoheegeria verbasci (Osborn) Praepodothrips cymbapogomi Ananthakrishnan.At the end of the paper, some important information and figures were attached.
