Sexual dimorphism in feeding stylets is recorded among some Phlaeothripinae that have maxillary stylets long and close together in females but wider apart in males. These atypical long feeding stylets have been found in two new species of from China, both taken on from Plateau zone. Two species are described and illustrated: from Helanshan Mountain and from Tibet. There is no evidence of any association between feeding behaviors and feeding stylet orientation.
在一些管蓟马亚科昆虫中记录到取食口针存在两性异形现象,雌性的上颚口针长且靠得很近,而雄性的则相距较远。在中国发现的两个新物种中发现了这些非典型的长取食口针,它们均采自高原地区。描述并图示了两个物种:来自贺兰山的[物种名1]和来自西藏的[物种名2]。没有证据表明取食行为与取食口针方向之间存在任何关联。
