Thysanoptera of Canada

The known Canadian Thysanoptera fauna currently consists of 147 species, including 28 non-native species, and there are five additional species found only indoors. DNA barcoding data, presence of species in adjacent regions, and preliminary evidence of the presence of host-associated cryptic species suggest that there may be as many as 255 additional species awaiting discovery or description in Canada

Antennal segment II is strongly angulate with rather straight anterior margin and resembles those of some <i>Chirothrips</i> species.

The head is brown, pronotum is yellow with a medial pale brown longitudinal area, pterothorax is shaded light brown, abdomen and legs are yellow, and fore wing is light brown with pale base.</p>Published as part of <i>Nakahara, Sueo & Foottit, Robert G., 2012, Review of Chirothrips and related genera (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) of the Americas, with descriptions of one new genus and four new species, pp. 1-29 in Zootaxa 3251</i> on page 9, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/213299">10.5281/zenodo.213299</a&gt
