Frankliniella difficilis Hood 1925

Description

difficilis Hood, 1925

The paralectotypes of this species from Martinique have a discal seta medially on sternite II, but the lectotype (Pitkin 1978) from Guadeloupe lacks this seta. The specimens recorded under the name difficilis from Brazil cannot at present be distinguished from gardeniae, but difficilis remains a valid name for a Caribbean species that is inadequately defined.
