4D65878F9C78575FFF66F871FDB6FF07.taxon	discussion	This uniformly brown species is known only from New Zealand, where it is widespread in native forest in both North and South Islands. Large males have a tubercle ventrally on the head, and often have a small tubercle dorsally on tergite IX. This thrips has been taken from dead branches in association with a small pink coral-spot fungus of the genus Aleurodiscus.	en	Mound, Laurence A., Tree, Desley J.

4D65878F9C7B575FFF66FEAFFC44FAA4.taxon	discussion	Comments. This species is here described in Sophiothrips with some hesitation, because the maxillary stylets are more deeply retracted into the head capsule than any other member of this genus, the mesoeusternum is eroded medially, the sternal posteromarginal setae are unusually small, and antennal segment VI is not enlarged. However, the head shape and chaetotaxy, and the short tube, are typical of this genus.	en	Mound, Laurence A., Tree, Desley J.

4D65878F9C7A575EFF66FB87FD95FB18.taxon	discussion	This is one of two uniformly brown species known only from New Zealand. It is closely related to aleurodisci, and has been found only in North Island.	en	Mound, Laurence A., Tree, Desley J. (2014): The minute, fungus-feeding species of Sophiothrips (Thysanoptera, Phlaeothripinae) from Australia and New Zealand. Zootaxa 3860 (2): 184-194, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.3860.2.5
4D65878F9C7A575EFF66FAD8FF67F8BB.taxon	description	(Figs 3, 10, 24) The original description was based on three females from Australia near Brisbane, with two non-paratype females from Canberra and Kangaroo Island as well as two females from North Island, New Zealand. The holotype is the only known macropterous individual, but one of the paratype apterae, also the non-paratype female from Canberra, are both discussed below under the new species postlei. Apterae of greensladei have been found widely in eastern Australia, between Cape Tribulation in northern Queensland and Tasmania, and also on Lord Howe Island. The males are similar to the females in colour and structure, with no fore tarsal tooth nor any other obvious secondary sexual character. In apterae, the pronotal posteroangular setae are minute, no longer than the pronotal discal setae (Fig. 3), both sexes have no fore tarsal tooth, and the pelta extends fully across the anterior margin of tergite II. The basal stem of antennal segment III is long and slender (Fig. 10), and sub-equal in length to the apical swollen part. The metanotum generally lacks sculpture or is only weakly reticulate, and tergite IX setal pair S 1 is almost as long as the basal width of the tube. The tube lacks any reticulation, but has weakly defined longitudinal furrows (Fig. 24).	en	Mound, Laurence A., Tree, Desley J.

4D65878F9C7D5758FF66F9DBFD32FB8D.taxon	discussion	Comments. In structure this species is closely similar to the New Zealand species, aleurodisci, but is startlingly different in being sharply bicoloured instead of uniformly brown. Moreover, the short setae S 2 on tergite IX of females is a condition that is not recorded from any other species in this genus, and is certainly different from the condition in aleurodisci. The name martinae recognizes the contributions made by Mera Martin to the success of insect surveying studies on Norfolk Island.	en	Mound, Laurence A., Tree, Desley J.
