Abstract

Among Australian fungus-feeding Thysanoptera, five new synonyms are recognised in Horistothrips Morgan, and among leaf-feeding species, three new synonyms are recognised in Teuchothrips Hood and one in Neocecidothrips Moulton. Horistothrips curviseta Girault is transferred to Neocecidothrips as the second species in that genus and its host-plant is identified. Cryptothrips additamentus Karny is transferred to Gynaikothrips Zimmermann and identified as a common kleptoparasite in the leaf roll galls of Gynaikothrips australis Bagnall. A key is provided to 13 Australian species remaining in Teuchothrips; host-plants are recognised for six of these, but seven remain known only from their original fragmented specimens.
