Octurothrips is a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae,[1] first described by Hermann Priesner in 1931.[2][3] There is just one species in this genus: Octurothrips pulcher.[4][5]
This genus and species has unusually long abdominal segments IX and X.[5] It shares many of the characters of Habrothrips, but its head and antennae are very different.[5]
Distribution and habitat
It has been found in Victoria, South Australia and Queensland in inland arid zones,[5] by beating the stems of various Acacias.[5] It is thought to feed on fungus.[5]
