Abstract
Neohydatothrips sophorae sp. n. is described from Western China. The new Sericothripinae species is characterized by the bicoloured body with the abdominal tergites bearing a posteromarginal craspedum. N. reticulatus (Kudo) is newly recorded in China. An updated key is provided to 18 species of Neohydatothrips from China.
