Variation in colour markings of an unusual new Asprothrips species from China (Thysanoptera, Thripidae).

ABSTRACT: The second species of the genus Asprothrips with a bicoloured body, A. atermaculosussp. n., is described and illustrated from China. This is characterised by considerable intra-population variation in the number and size of brown markings on the abdominal tergites. Asprothrips fuscipennis Kudô, previously described from Japan, is newly recorded in China.
