Abstract

Taeniothrips changbaiensis sp. n. is described from specimens causing damage to the leaves of a species of Poaceae, Deyeuxia angustifolia, in Northeast China. This is one of three species of Taeniothrips with a banded fore wing, and one of only two species with an irregularly interrupted comb of microtrichia on abdominal tergite VIII. The number of setae is variable on the distal half of the fore wing first vein.
