Abstract

Masumoto & Okajima (2005) reviewed 12 closely related genera of Thripidae as the Trichromothrips genus-group. In this group they included Octothrips Moulton, of which the type species O. suspensus Moulton (1940) is known only from a single male taken on Cyperus in Papua New Guinea. The only other species described in this genus is O. lygodii Mound (2002), from Lygodium ferns in S.E. Asia. Bhatti (2003) synonymised Apollothrips Wilson (1972), and transferred to Octothrips the two involved species, O. bhattii (Wilson) and O. karnyi (zur Strassen). In this paper, O. lygodii is considered a synonym of O. bhattii and is newly recorded from Taiwan.
