Abstract

Apelaunothrips dentiellus sp. n. is described from China. This is characterized by all tibiae and tarsi yellow and the fore tarsus with a small tooth in both sexes. A. indicus (Ananthakrishnan) and A. maculipennis (Okajima) are newly recorded from China. A key to the Apelaunothrips species known from China is provided, together with new distribution information of each species.
