- Liothrips konoi nom.nov. Liothrips brevitubus Kono, 1964: 4. Homonym of Liothrips brevitubus Karny, 1912: 156. This species remains known only from the original three micropterous females listed below. The species was described as “apterous”, although the fore wing lobe is clearly visible, 180 microns long, deeply shaded and bearing three stout black sub-basal setae. These setae are similar to the postocular and pronotal having the apices paler and smoothly spoon- shaped rather than capitate. In the original description the species was compared to lepidus Cott, but that species is known only from macropterae, as are most of the 11 species of Liothrips recorded from California (Hoddle et al. 2012). There is a possibility that the brevitubus specimens might eventually be recognised as micropterae of one of the other species based on macropterae, but a new name is proposed here to avoid confusion with the species from Indonesia. Specimens studied: California, Calexico, holotype and two paratype female micropterae of brevitubus Kono, from willow, 12.iii.1945, in California Department of Food and Agriculture collection, Sacramento.
