The Australia-New Zealand connection re-visited, with two new species of Cartomothrips (Thysanoptera, Phlaeothripinae)

چکیده
The distribution of the six species in Cartomothrips is considered, and a key provided for their identification. C. tofti sp.n. is described from New Zealand; manukae is widespread in New Zealand but also found in Tasmania; neboissi is infrequent in New Zealand but common in southern Australia; laughlini is known only from South Australia; browni breeds in the seed capsules of some Eucalyptus species and thus presumably is an Australian species but has also been found in Brazil, California, Kenya and New Zealand; C. abrsi sp.n. is described from Tasmania.

Callococcithrips gen.n. is erected for the species Rhynchothrips fuscipennis Moulton that lives only among the protective waxy secretions of an eriococcid on Kunzea in south-eastern Australia. Larvae and adults of this thrips move rapidly amongst the sticky wax strands, and their maxillary stylets are unusually long and convoluted. Circumstantial evidence suggests that the thrips is predatory o...
