Redescription of Aquatic Grass Inhabiting Frankliniella zizaniophila (Thripidae: Thripinae) With Remarks on Its Systematic Position Within the Genus Frankliniella (Thysanoptera)

چکیده
The aquatic grass-inhabiting thrip, Frankliniella zizaniophila (Han & Zhang 1982) (Thripidae: Thripinae), is redescribed and illustrated, and the larvae and the yellow color type of this species are described for the first time. Judging from its unique morphological characters and host plant, the systematic position of this species in Frankliniella is questionable, but until the thrips fauna of Asia is better explored, it seems best to leave this species in Frankliniella, rather than to erect a new monobasic genus.
