  • Apelaunothrips Karny 1925 A total of 38 species are listed in this genus (ThripsWiki, 2020), and a key is available to identify 37 of these (Mound 2013). The genus is distributed across the Old World tropics from Africa to northern Australia and southern Japan, and five species are reported from India (Tyagi & Kumar 2016). The members of this genus are distinguished from other Phlaeothripinae by the unusually wide maxillary stylets (4–6 microns in width). But the species share with the species of Hoplandrothrips and Adraneothrips the presence of unusually long intermediate setae (iS) on tergite IX between the major setae S1 and S2 (Dang et al. 2013). Males of Apelaunothrips do not have pore plates on sternite VIII, whereas these are well developed in the males of Adraneothrips and Hoplandrothrips.
