Siamothrips balteus, a new species of Scirtothrips genus-group from China (Thysanoptera, Thripidae).

ABSTRACT: The third species of the genus Siamothrips Okajima, Siamothrips balteussp. n., is described from China. The new species is characterised by the abdominal tergite II uniformly brown, III-VII with a brown area medially but pale on lateral thirds, tergite VIII smooth medially, tergite X with 3-4 rows of microtrichia medially, and abdominal sternite VII with one pair of discal setae laterally. A key to the three species has been constructed and is presented here.
