03AC878CFFCDFFDEDBADF93DFC57FF2B.taxon	discussion	Notes. This species is widespread in Southeast Asia to Australia. Little is known of the biology but the species is often associated with several vegetable crops such as soybeans and groundnuts in Java (Miyazaki et al. 1984; Mound & Ng 2009), and often intercepted by Japanese plant quarantine on Ocimum basilicum [Lamiaceae] imported from Laos or Ocimum tenuiflorum imported from Thailand (Masumoto et al. 2012).	en	Masumoto, Masami, Okajima, Shûji (2021): Contributions to the knowledge of Thysanoptera (Insecta) from Japan.

03AC878CFFCCFFDEDBADFDA8FBA8FD3C.taxon	discussion	Notes. This species was described from Poaceae in Sakhalin.

03AC878CFFCCFFDEDBADFCACFD4CFA80.taxon	discussion	Notes. This is the first record of Sorghothrips meishanensis from Japan. This genus includes five species as follows (ThripsWiki 2021): fuscus (Ananthakrishnan) and jonnaphilus (Ramakrishna) from India, longistylus (Trybom) from Egypt, and meishanensis from Taiwan and China (Ananthakrishnan 1965; Priesner 1936; Ramakrishna 1928; Xie et al. 2012), sakagamii (Kudo) from Taiwan (Kudo 1974). In Japanese plant quarantine however, S. jonnaphilus was intercepted on Asparagus officinalis imported from Thailand (Masumoto et al. 2003). S. meishanensis was described from Taiwan but there is a female of S. meishanensis from Thailand in the collection of Tokyo University of Agriculture. This species can be distinguished easily from other members of the genus by having the abdominal sternites III and IV of females each with a small pore plate. Another species from Taiwan, S. sakagamii that was described in the genus Plesiothrips Hood, seems to be known only from the type series. However, sakagamii and meishanensis probably represent a single species, judging from observation of a paratype of sakagamii. Unfortunately, the sternal pore plates on this paratype are invisible because of lack of treatment with KOH solution.	en	Masumoto, Masami, Okajima, Shûji (2021): Contributions to the knowledge of Thysanoptera (Insecta) from Japan.

03AC878CFFCCFFDDDBADF8CDFB63FF2B.taxon	discussion	Notes. This species was described from India but is widespread in the Oriental region to Australia and the Neotropical region (Jamaica, Trinidad) (Mound 2011). The species is very similar to S. langkawieinsis Ng & Mound by their uniformly pale and slender body. However, the abdominal tergites have no microtrichia along their posterior margins and tergite VIII setae S 2 (submedian) exceed the posterior margin. In contrast, in langkawiensis the abdominal tergites have small dentate posteromarginal microtrichia at least laterally (small microtrichia complete on VIII).	en	Masumoto, Masami, Okajima, Shûji (2021): Contributions to the knowledge of Thysanoptera (Insecta) from Japan.

03AC878CFFCFFFDDDBADFE8EFF3EFD4E.taxon	discussion	Notes. This species is a member of the subfamily Idolothripinae in which all species are fungus feeders. However, it has been intercepted by Japanese plant quarantine on asparagus imported from Australia or New Zealand (Hayase 1991). This species is known from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa so far. It can be distinguished easily from the three species of Nesothrips previously known from Japan, by having the compound eyes elongate posteriorly on the ventral surface.	en	Masumoto, Masami, Okajima, Shûji (2021): Contributions to the knowledge of Thysanoptera (Insecta) from Japan.
