Until now, 16 species of Panchaetothripinae in 11genera have been recorded from Japan (Kudo 1992a,b). Recently, however, three further species were found, in the genera Phibalothrips and Caliothrips, and one purpose of this report is to record these two genera from Japan for the first time. The four known species of Phibalothrips occur mainly in the Old World tropics, and are associated with grasses (Mound 2011), whereas the 22 known species of Caliothrips are found in the tropics and subtropics worldwide and feed on a range of different plants including grasses. In this article, P. rugosus, C. punctipennis and C. tongi are newly recorded from Japan, and the male of P. rugosus and second instar larva of C. tongi are described for the first time. Moreover, an identification key to the known species of Phibalothrips is provided. Larval chaetotaxy is based on Heming (1991) and Vierbergen et al. (2010). The specimens studied are deposited in Yokohama Plant Protection Station, Naha Plant Protection Station and the authors' collection.
截至目前，日本已记录到11个属的16种管蓟马亚科昆虫（工藤，1992a，b）。然而，最近又发现了另外3个物种，分属于Phibalothrips属和Caliothrips属，本报告的一个目的就是首次记录日本的这两个属。已知的4种Phibalothrips主要分布在东半球热带地区，与禾本科植物有关（芒德，2011），而已知的22种Caliothrips分布于全球热带和亚热带地区，取食包括禾本科植物在内的多种不同植物。在本文中，P. rugosus、C. punctipennis和C. tongi是日本新记录种，首次描述了P. rugosus的雄性个体和C. tongi的二龄幼虫。此外，还提供了已知Phibalothrips物种的检索表。幼虫的毛序依据赫明（1991）和维耶尔贝根等人（2010）。所研究的标本保存在横滨植物保护站、那霸植物保护站以及作者的收藏中。
