Species Thaumatothrips froggatti Karny, 1922

 

Introduction

Brief note given by Mound et al. (2022), including information on distribution and host species: 'This thrips has been found in the galls induced by the two different species of Iotatubothrips from eastern and western Australia. In eastern Australia, large colonies have been
found in the woody galls of Iotatubothrips crozieri on Casuarina cristata at sites between Dalby and Goondiwindi in southern Queensland, also across inland New South Wales to Broken Hill. Specimens have also been seen labelled as collected by Froggatt in 1928 at Euston on the River Murray. In Western Australia, large colonies were found in the woody galls induced by Iotatubothrips kranzae on Casuarina obesa trees at the Murchison River crossing, 90km north of Geraldton.
