Abstract
With the addition here of Laplothrips and Trachynotothrips, six genera of Trichromothrips genus-group are now known from China. Newly recorded from China are ten species of this group described originally from various Asian countries, together with three new species, Trichromothrips antidesmae sp.n., T. guizhouensis sp.n. and T. moundi sp.n.. The male of T. elegans is described, and a key provided to the 16 species of Trichromothrips known from China.
