Keys to the 23 species of Hydatothrips and 16 species of Neohydatothrips in East and South Asia, including Taiwan, China, Korea, Japan, India, Malaysia and the neighboring areas are given. Neohydatothrips pectinarius Kudo is a new synonym of N. medius Wang, N. populi Han is new synonym of N. elaeagni Kudo, and Z. luridus Ananthakrishnan is a new synonym of N. plynopygus (Karny).
