Abdominal segment X tubiform with a distinct constriction in the middle (Fig. 1). Antennae nine-segmented. Fore wings (Fig. 2) narrow, slightly bent forwards and broadened at base; first vein complete but bearing setae only in the basal two-thirds; second vein and cross-veins not developed; wing coupling hamulo-frenate.

Abdomen without sigmoidal wing retaining setae.</p><p>Adstrictubothrips shows modern tubuliferan character states in combination with plesiomorphic features like nine-segmented antennae and fore wings with a complete first vein. It therefore is allocated to Rohrthripidae . In contrast to most species of Rohrthrips the wing fringes in Adstrictubothrips are embedded for the main part into the wing membrane.A similar situation, however, has been also found in some species of Rohrthrips, eg R. patrickmuelleri or R. schizovenatus (Ulitzka 2019) . Thus, this character state does not contradict the classification of the new genus within Rohrthripidae . Adstrictubothrips differs from Rohrthrips with regard to the narrow wings and the wing vein, which is furnished with setae only in the basal two-thirds of the wing length.</p><p>Etymology. The name of the new genus derives from the Latin words adstrictus, meaning “narrowed”, and tubus, meaning “tube”, as well as thrips, the usual term for a genus within Thysanoptera . The name refers to the constriction in the tube of the generic type specimen (Fig. 1).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038B87FEA64277095A86FAC2A767A9CB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Fore wing clavus with paired setiform processes at tip and hind wing with basal recurved setae, wing coupling hamulo-frenate (Fig. 26). Abdomen without wing retaining setae. Fore tibiae with a strong distal spine. Anal setae much shorter than tube (Fig. 5).</p><p>Gemineurothrips shows character states of modern Tubulifera combined with plesiomorphic features like ninesegmented antennae and fore wings with two complete veins; it therefore is allocated to Rohrthripidae . Furthermore, wing coupling in Gemineurothrips is hamulo-frenate as it is in Rohrthrips (Fig. 25). Members of both genera have broadened wings; this feature distinguishes both from other Rohrthripidae . Gemineurothrips differs from Rohrthrips in having a complete second wing vein bearing stout setae (Fig. 7). Furthermore, the maxillary stylets are deeply retracted into the head capsule and close together in Rohrthrips (see Ulitzka 2018), whereas they are low in the head only and far apart in Gemineurothrips (Fig. 36). Finally, the pronotal chaetotaxy is different, with well-developed posteromarginal setae and a second pair of (much shorter) posteroangular setae in Gemineurothrips, whereas in Rohrthrips the posteromarginal setae are vestigial and only one pair of posteroangular setae is present.</p><p>Etymology. The name of the new genus derives from the Latin word geminus, meaning “twin”, the Greek word νεῦρΟν (neuron), meaning “vein”, and thrips, the usual term for a genus within Thysanoptera . It refers to the almost identical wing veins lying as “twins” in the fore wings of the generic type specimen (Fig. 7).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038B87FEA644770E5A86FF6FA087AC99	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Holotype female MU-Fos-147/1 (Fig. 18); inclusion in Burmese amber from Hukawng Valley, Kachin State, Myanmar; purchased by the author on eBay from Terry Su, eBay username “burmite-miner”; deposited in the author’s collection.</p><p>Syninclusions. Numerous hairs of another arthropod; small particles of plant detritus, small dark droplet and many crystals of pyrite around the thrips inclusion.</p><p>Etymology. The species epithet setiger comes from the Latin words seta, meaning “bristel”, and gerere, meaning in the character of the suffix -ger “furnished with”. It refers to the wing vein of this species that is furnished with numerous longer setae (Fig. 18).</p><p>Differential diagnosis. Rohrthrips now comprises 12 species that can be distinguished primarily by their wing veins and the length-to-width ratio of their tubes. In contrast to all other species R. libanicus, rhamphorhynchus sp. n. and setiger sp. n. have an additional but shorter second vein on the fore wings (see Figs 17–18 and Ulitzka 2018, p. 556 Fig. 13). R. libanicus from Lebanese amber can be distinguished from the latter two species from Burmese amber by its shorter tube. Within the species from Burmite, R. rhamphorhynchus sp. n. has a long and slender mouth cone protruding over the base of the prosternum (Fig. 37), whereas the mouth cone in R. setiger sp. n. is much shorter. These species, moreover, can be distinguished by the number of setae on their first wing vein: In R. setiger sp. n. the vein has much more stout setae (13); in R. rhamphorhynchus sp. n. it is less setose (four short and one longer setae). The species with only one wing vein may be classified into two groups with regard to the shape and length-to-width ratio of their tubes. The first group contains species with a short and bulky tube (length-to-width ratio 2.3–2.5): R. breviceps, R. maryae and R. patrickmuelleri; in contrast, the second group contains species with a long and slender tube (length-to-width ratio 3.2–5.9): R. brachyvenis sp. n., R. burmiticus, R. jiewenae, R. multihamuli sp. n. and R. schizovenatus (see also Ulitzka 2019). In the first group, R. breviceps (Fig. 13) may be distinguished by its conspicuously short head, the shortened wing vein (0.8 of wing length) and the smaller body size (1.3mm). Some character states of this species, however, are similar to those of R. maryae and R. patrickmuelleri, such as the length of the epimeral setae in R. patrickmuelleri, and in R. maryae the head, which is also somewhat wider than long. However, both of the latter species are larger yet their antennae are much shorter. R. maryae and R. patrickmuelleri may be distinguished by their wings. In both species the wing vein meets the costa close to the wing apex. In R. patrickmuelleri, however, the vein is colourless subbasally and coloured pale greyish-brown distally and it is conspicuously straight except for the short bending close to its tip. In contrast, the vein is dark brown in the distal two thirds and curved forwards from the middle of its length in R. maryae . Furthermore, the wings of the latter species are broader apically and it is much larger than R. patrickmuelleri, with the abdomen conspicuously broad.</p><p>In the second group R. multihamuli sp. n. differs significantly from all other species; on the one hand by its large size (2.8 mm) and on the other hand by the shape of antennal segments III and IV, which are not inversely conical but cylindrically elongated (Figs 15, 38). R. burmiticus and R. jiewenae differ from R. brachyvenis sp. n. and R. schizovenatus with regard to their long wing vein reaching the costa at base of the wing tip rounding. These species are quite similar regarding their body shape and structures; however, they are clearly distinguished by the conspicuously short sense cones in R. jiewenae . In R. brachyvenis sp. n. and R. schizovenatus the wing vein is shortened. In R. schizovenatus it hardly reaches the last quarter of the fore wing and it is apically split into two branches, each ending with a terminal seta. Furthermore, R. schizovenatus has a very long and slender tube (length-to-width ratio about 5.1) and antennal segment III is strikingly long (&gt;100µm). In R. brachyvenis sp. n. antennal segment III and the tube (length-to-width ratio about 3.2) are shorter. Furthermore, the wing vein in this species is not split and slightly longer, reaching the last fifth of the wing (Fig. 12). R. brachyvenis sp. n., moreover, is the only species of Rohrthrips that clearly shows four sense cones on antennal segment III. However, this feature should be considered with great care. In other species, further sense cones may also be present but may lie completely above or below the segment and thus remain hidden. R. pandemicus sp. n., finally, is the only micropterous species within that genus (Fig. 16). It has no ocelli, and its compound eyes are reduced to a few ommatidia only. Most likely, however, it is not a distinct species but the micropterous form of R. maryae or possibly R. breviceps .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038B87FEA65177195A86FD76A07AA9C1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Abdominal segment X tubiform. Antennae nine-segmented, with segments VIII and IX broadly joined. Fore wings broadened in basal half, distally with parallel margins and with broadly rounded tip; first vein complete, bearing setae; second vein present but ending approximately in the middle of the wing with a distinct terminal seta (Fig. 22). Fore wings with fringe cilia embedded into wing membrane; duplicated cilia present; wing coupling not assessable. Hind wings distally with posterior margin of wing membrane serrate into small teeth, each carrying a fringe cilium at tip attached on a tiny socket (Fig. 23). Abdomen without sigmoidal wing retaining setae.</p><p>Sesquithrips shows modern tubuliferan character states in combination with plesiomorphic features like ninesegmented antennae and fore wings with longitudinal veins. It therefore is allocated to Rohrthripidae . Similar as mentioned for Adstrictubothrips gen. n., the fringes in Sesquithrips gen. n. are embedded for the most part into the wing membrane (Fig. 22). Only at the serrate posterior margin of the hind wings are they clearly attached on tiny sockets (Fig. 23). Sesquithrips gen. n. differs from Rohrthrips and Gemineurothrips gen. n. with regard to the narrow shape of the wings. Furthermore, the dorsolateral sutures found in members of Rohrthrips and Paralleloalathrips gen. n. at abdominal segment II (see below) are not developed in this new genus. Moreover, Sesquithrips gen. n. is easily distinguished from the latter genus and from Adstrictubothrips gen. n. by the second wing vein, which ends in the middle of the fore wing with a stout terminal seta (Fig. 22).</p><p>Etymology. The name of the new genus derives from the Latin prefix sesqui, meaning “one and a half”, and thrips, the usual term for a genus within Thysanoptera . It refers to the wing venation with a complete first vein and a second vein extending only half the length of the fore wing (Fig. 22).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038B87FEA654771F5A86FF6FA795ADBC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Remnants of different insects, stellate plant hairs and particles of plant detritus as well as some small droplets, air bubbles and brownish stains of unknown origin.</p><p>Etymology. The species epithet rostratus comes from the Latin word rostrum, meaning “beak”. It refers to the long and pointed mouth cone of this species (Fig. 21).</p><p>Differential diagnosis. The two species are already distinguished by their visual appearance. S. markpankowskii gen. et sp. n. is more robust, with a much broader head and shorter pronotum. The most striking difference between the two species, however, is the shape of their mouth cone, which is long and pointed in S. rostratus gen. et sp. n. but short and rounded in S. markpankowskii gen. et sp. n. (see Figs 19–21). Furthermore, antennal segments VIII and IX are broadly joined in S. rostratus gen. et sp. n. whereas they are more clearly separated in S. markpankowskii gen. et sp. n.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038B87FEA656771C5A86FD4AA50FAD25	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
