Description
Leptothrips occidentalis Johansen
Leptothrips occidentalis Johansen, 1987: 59.
This species remains known only from the original specimens: two females and one male collected at Bridgeland, Utah. It is remarkable for the long and deeply retracted maxillary stylets that are close together medially in the head (Fig. 5). Despite this, the species is similar to heliomanes in having the pronotum with particularly strong transverse striae, and the fore wing lacking duplicated cilia.
