A review of the Mexican Frankliniella paricutinensis species assemblage in the Intonsa group (Insecta, Thysanoptera: Thripidae), with description of a new species

Abstract

A second review of the 13 Mexican species in the Frankliniella paricutinensis Johansen species assemblage is presented, including the description of a new species. It was sampled from the onion Allium cepa L. agro-ecosystem, in 2 different localities in southern Tamaulipas. The study includes new records for 7 of the 13 previously described species. New morphological data, measurements of several specimens, and illustrations of head, thorax and abdomen, together with some ecological comments, are also included for the new species. A new key for the determination of the 14 species in the F. paricutinensis assemblage is provided.
