Chalepothrips ardisiae

Nomenclatural details

Chalepothrips ardisiae Priesner, 1968: 191. Neither the genus nor the only species ever placed in it were ever formally described. The combination was published in a key to Liothrips species as "?Chalepothrips ardisiae". The query mark in front of these names is interpreted under the terms of Article 15.1 of the Code of Zoological Nomenclature as "conditional" and both names are thus unavailable. The only other published reference to these names is in a list of Thysanoptera of Indonesia (zur Strassen 1994).

Biology and Distribution

Described from Java, Indonesia on Ardisia javanica.
