Abstract

Danothrips litseae sp. n. is described from Litsea sp. in North East India. This is the third species of the genus with distinct tergal craspeda, also weak, indistinct, irregular scallop-like projections on the sternites. Molecular data of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase (mtCOI) from specimens of this species are also generated as additional data for future studies.
