Illustrated keys are provided for the following five taxonomic units: seven species of Poaceae-inhabiting <em>Androthrips</em>; two species of <em>Okajimathrips</em>; 15 species of <em>Podothrips</em> from East Asia; five species of <em>Praepodothrips </em>from East Asia; four genera closely related to <em>Podothrips</em>.</span></span></span></p> <p> </p> SHÛJI OKAJIMA MASAMI MASUMOTO Copyright (c) 2025 2025-12-05 2025-12-05 5726 1 1 68 10.11646/zootaxa.5726.1.1
