Thrips korbuensis sp.n. is described from a high elevated area in Peninsular Malaysia. It shares many character states with Thrips coloratus but has 8-segmented antennae and abdominal segment VIII-X uniformly dark. It also shares some features with Thrips florum, and variation in some character states used to distinguish species in the Thrips hawaiiensis group are discussed. Two species, Thrips brevistylus and Thrips subnudula, are recorded for the first time from Malaysia, and an updated checklist is provided of 27 species of the genus Thrips recorded from Malaysia.
柯氏蓟马(Thrips korbuensis sp.n.)是在马来西亚半岛的一个高海拔地区发现并被描述的。它与色蓟马(Thrips coloratus)有许多特征相同,但触角有8节,腹部第八至十节颜色均匀较深。它也与花蓟马(Thrips florum)有一些共同特征,并且讨论了用于区分夏威夷蓟马组(Thrips hawaiiensis group)物种的某些特征状态的变异情况。马来西亚首次记录了两种蓟马,即短管蓟马(Thrips brevistylus)和裸蓟马(Thrips subnudula),并提供了一份更新的马来西亚蓟马属27种蓟马的名录。
