Review of the genus Gigantothrips Zimmermann from China and Southeast Asia (Thysanoptera, Phlaeothripidae, Phlaeothripinae).

ABSTRACT: Gigantothrips is a genus of leaf-feeding species from the Old World tropics that is distinguished from Gynaikothrips and Leeuwenia by the large number of tergal wing-retaining setae. Eight species are recognized from China and Southeast Asia including G.tibetanussp. nov. from Tibet and G.yunnanensissp. nov. from Yunnan, both taken on the leaves of Ficus trees. An illustrated identification key to these eight species is provided here.
