            <p> Sophiothrips aleurodisci Mound &amp; Walker, 1982</p>
            <p> 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 . </p>

            <p> A further four genera are currently listed as synonyms of  Sophiothrips (ThripsWiki 2014) , primarily because of the remarkable structural variation that occurs within some of the species, and a full diagnosis of the genus is available in Okajima (2006) and also Dang et al. (2014). </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.

            <p>Female macroptera: Body legs and antennae light brown, tarsi and apices of tibiae yellow, tube golden with brown margins, basal antennal segments paler than distal segments.</p>
            <p>Head wider than long, with little sculpture dorsally except near posterior margin; postocular setae short, capitate, placed laterally, only one pair of minor postocular setae medially; maxillary stylets wide apart, retracted slightly into head capsule (Fig. 1). Antennal segment III with one sensorium, IV–V each with 2 short stout sensoria, VI shorter than VII (Fig. 8). Pronotum smooth, notopleural sutures irregular, slightly incomplete; epim and pa setae small and capitate, remaining major setae minute. Fore tarsi without tooth. Mesonotal latral setae minute, metanotum weakly reticulate. Fore wing parallel sided, no duplicated cilia, only one small capitate subbasal seta. Prosternal basantra absent, ferna wide apart, mesopresternum and mesoeusternum eroded medially, but mesopresternum fused to mesoeusternum laterally (Fig. 20); metathoracic sternopleural sutures present. Pelta weakly reticulate, with lateral lobes, campaniform sensilla present (Fig. 14); tergites II–VII each with one pair of sigmoid wing-retaining setae and one pair of capitate setae lateral to these; tergite IX major setae all capitate; tube margins slightly concave, apex constricted, anal setae short. Sternites with transverse row of 8–10 small discal setae, posterior margins of II–VII each with 2 pairs of minute setae, VIII with one of these pairs much longer, stout and capitate.</p>
            <p>Measurements (holotype female in microns). Body length 1400. Head, length 125; width 150; postocular setae 15. Pronotum, length 95; width 210; setae am, aa and ml all 5, epim 20, pa 15. Fore wing length 500. Tergite VI lateral setae 25; tergite IX major setae 30. Tube length 85. Sternite II marginal setae 5; sternite VIII marginal setae 30. Antennal segments III–VIII length 35, 30, 35, 40, 40, 20.</p>
            <p> Specimens studied:   Holotype female macroptera, Australian Capital Territory,  Casuarina Sands , from  Epacrid with lichen, 13.viii.1995 (LAM 2791). </p>
            <p>Paratypes: Two female macropterae taken with holotype.</p>
            <p> 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. </p>

            <p> Sophiothrips greensladei Mound &amp; Walker, 1982</p>
            <p>(Figs 3, 10, 24)</p>
            <p>  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 S1 is almost as long as the basal width of the tube. The tube lacks any reticulation, but has weakly defined longitudinal furrows (Fig. 24)  . </p>

            <p>Measurements (paratype female in microns). Body length 1170. Head, length 100; width 155. Pronotum, length 150; width 250; major setae epim 25, pa 25. Metanotal major setae 20. Tergite IX setae S1 45, iS 15, S2 10, S3 35. Tube length 85. Sternite II marginal setae S1 15; sternite VIII marginal setae S1 35.</p>
            <p> Specimens studied:   Holotype male, Norfolk Island,  Palm Glen Track , dead  Citrus jambhiri , 12.vii.2013 (Alice Wells). </p>
            <p> Paratypes, all Norfolk Island, from dead branches: 2 males, 3 females taken with holotype; same locality, 1 male, 3 females, 23.xii.2012 ;   Bird Rock Track , 3 males, 5 females, 25.xii.2012  ;   Selwyn Pine Road , 1 male, 1 female, 24.xii.2012  , and 1 male, 1 female, 24.xii.2013;   100  Acre Reserve , 1 male, 1 female, 25.xii.2013  ;   Mt Pitt , 1 male, 1 female, 22.xii.2013  ;   Mission Road rainforest, 2 females, 23.xii.2013  . </p>
            <p> 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 S2 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. </p>

Pronotum with weak sculpture at anterior and posterior, 5 pairs of major setae bluntly capitate, am setae arising submarginally (Fig. 6). Meso and metanotum strongly transverse, metanotum reticulate with one pair of major setae. Fore femora of major male swollen, tarsal tooth large. Prosternal basantra small in major male but absent in minor male, mesopresternum not developed; mesoeusternum anterior margin entire. Pelta extends almost fully across tergite II; tergites weakly reticulate; IX with major setae all bluntly pointed, posterior margin with prominent pointed tubercle (Fig. 26). Sternites without specialized reticulation, median pair of marginal setae at least 3 times as long as discal setae.</p>
            <p>Measurements (holotype male in microns). Body length 1150. Head, length 85; width 130; ocellar setae 20; lateral postocular setae 25. Pronotum, length 170; width 220; major setae am 20, aa 30, ml 35, epim 30, pa 25. Metanotal major setae 20. Tergite VI posteroangular setae 30; tergite IX setae S1 50, S2 25, S3 50. Tube length 100.

            <p>Female aptera: Similar in colour and structure to minor male but abdominal segment VI as yellow as VII, fore tarsal tooth minute; tergite IX setae S2 as long as S1 and S3.</p>
            <p>Female macroptera: Similar to female aptera except head almost brown; major setae on head and pronotum shorter; mesopresternum represented by slender transverse sclerite; Metanotum reticulate, with 6 small setae on anterior third and one pair of major setae near posterior margin (Fig. 18); fore wing light brown on distal half, parallel sided, no duplicated cilia; tergites III–VII each with one pair of sigmoid wing-retaining setae.</p>
            <p> Specimens studied:  Holotype male aptera, Victoria, Nelson, from bark spraying of live tree, 5.x.2013 (DJT 1687).</p>
            <p>  Paratypes: 8 female, 1 male apterae taken with holotype. Queensland, near  Brisbane (?Sunnybank or Ormiston), female macroptera in water trap, 1966  . </p>
            <p> Comments. This species is similar to  S. decorus , from the Ryukyu Islands of southern Japan, in being sharply bicoloured, in having a large flattened band on the pedicel of the third antennal segment, and in having major males with a tubercle both ventrally on the head and dorsally on tergite IX (Fig. 26). However, abdominal segment II is yellow and VIII is brown, whereas in  decorus abdominal segments I–IV are dark brown, and VII–IX yellow. Moreover, the flattened band on the third antennal segment is much larger than in  decorus . </p>

            <p>(Figs 7, 13, 27)</p>
            <p>Female aptera: Mainly yellow with light brown markings; legs yellow, but fore coxae brown; head, thorax yellow and abdominal segments I–V and IX yellow, thorax shaded laterally; tergites VI–VIII light brown, tube golden with apical grey band; antennal segments I–IV yellow, V–VI weakly shaded, VII–VIII light brown.</p>
            <p>Head wider than long, dorsal surface extensively reticulate and sculptured (Fig. 7), with no long setae; eyes much smaller ventrally than dorsally. Antennal segment II paired dorsal setae flattened (Fig. 13), III with slender basal pedicel about as long as distal swollen portion, with one small sensorium; IV–VI each with 2 long sensoria. Pronotum faintly reticulate, major setae minute except epimerals. Meso and metanotum reticulate, metanotum without pair of prominent setae. Fore tarsal tooth absent. Prosternal basantra, mesopresternum and metathoracic sternopleural sutures absent; mesoeusternum anterior margin entire. Pelta extending fully across anterior margin of segment II; tergites weakly reticulate, lateral setae minute; tergite IX major setae shorter than width of base of tube, S3 bluntly pointed; tube surface weakly reticulate (Fig. 27).</p>
            <p>Measurements (holotype female aptera in microns). Body length 1040. Head, length 85; width 125; lateral postocular setae 12. Pronotum, length 110; width 185; epim setae 12. Tergite VI posteroangular setae 12; tergite IX setae S1 25, S2 20, S3 15. Tube length 150. Sternite II marginal setae S1 20; sternite VIII marginal setae S1 10. Antennal segments III–VIII length 45, 35, 40, 48, 35, 20.</p>
            <p>Male aptera: Very similar to female in colour and structure, without any obvious secondary sexual characters.</p>
            <p> Specimens studied:   Holotype female, Western Australia,  Dwellingup , from leaf litter, 28.vii.1981 (A. Postle). </p>
            <p>  Paratypes: 5 females, 1 male, taken with holotype; Australian Capital Territory, Canberra,  Black Mt ., 1 female in leaf litter, 4.xii.1969.   New South Wales,  Monga Forest , 2 females, 1 male from grass and leaves, 27.viii.1995. </p>
            <p> Comments. This species is closely related to  greensladei with a similar rather slender base to antennal segment III. However, the setae on the second antennal segment are flattened, the head and thorax more extensively reticulate, and the setae on the pronotum, laterally on the tergites, and on tergite IX are all considerably shorter. </p>
