Abstract
An illustrated key is provided to the 31 genera of the subfamily Idolothripinae recorded from Southeast Asia, and a checklist provided to 34 species recorded from Peninsular Malaysia. Notes are given on the habitat preferences of these fungal spore-feeding thrips, together with for each genus some discussion of systematic relationships and species diversity.References
