Abstract

A new genus and three new species are described from the canopy of Dipterocarp forest in Pasoh Forest Research in Malaysia: Daunothrips gen. n., D. striatus sp. n., Scirtothrips convexum sp. n. and Scirtothrips longifacies sp. n. The morphological characters of these new members of the Scirtothrips genus-group are discussed and illustrated.
