Extract

A new species of Scirtothrips found damaging tea in Kenya is described and named S. kenyensis, and a note is given on damage caused by members of this genus. The name Heliothrips minutissimus Bagn. is suppressed as a synonym of Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood, and S. sweetmani Bianchi and S. tilschacki Ananthakrishnan are suppressed as synonyms of S. bispinosus (Bagn.), a combination that is here restored.
