Abstract

The Phlaeothripinae genus Terthrothrips is recorded from China for the first time, with a key to the three species here recorded, including one new species, T. palmatus. This differs from the known species of the genus by the pronotal anteromarginal setae being well developed and broadly expanded at the apex. New distribution information is provided for T. apterus Kudô and T. parvus Okajima, described originally from Japan.
