Abstract

A new genus and micropterous species of Thripinae (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), Yaothrips shii gen. & sp. n., are described and illustrated from Tibet, western China. The relationship of this genus with other genera of Thripinae is discussed, particularly because of a pair of dorso-apical setae on the first antennal segment.
