This type species differs from the other known species in the genus in having ocellar setae pair III very small (Fig. 8), in having the postocular setae arranged in an irregular pair of rows not in a single row, and in having the metascutum strongly reticulate (Fig. 14). All of the known males in the genus have a set of six thorn-like setae on tergite IX (Figs 20–21, 25), but the male sternites bear pore plates in three species although not in two species (male not known for tribulationi sp.n.). Further remarkable differences among the included species are in the fore wing banding pattern, as indicated in the key below, in the presence of additional setae medially on the metascutum of two species, L. fasciatus and L. tribulationi (Figs 11–12, 15), in the form of antennal segments III–IV (Figs 1–6), and in the length of ocellar setae pair III from 15 to 80 microns.</p><p>Generic diagnosis: Head wider than long, vertex with median transverse ridge; ocellar setae pair I arranged irregularly one in front of the other, setae pair III long or short; 5 or 6 pairs of postocular setae; compound eyes without pigmented facets. Antennae 8-segmented; segment I without paired dorso-apical setae; III and IV with sense cones forked; segment II with microtrichia on dorsal surface, III–VI with microtrichia on both surfaces. Pronotum with two pairs of long posteroangular setae, posterior margin with 3 or 4 pairs of setae. Mesonotum transversely reticulate, median setae in front of posterior margin; anterior CPS present. Metascutum variably reticulate, setal pairs usually at anterior margin, paired CPS on posterior third of sclerite. Prosternal ferna complete medially; basantra membranous, without setae; prospinasternum broad and transverse. Mesosternum with sternopleural sutures complete; endofurca with spinula. Metasternal endofurca without spinula. Fore wing first vein with row of setae on basal half, 2 or 3 setae on distal half; second vein setal row complete; clavus with one discal and 5 veinal setae, subapical seta longest. Tarsi 2-segmented. Tergites without ctenidia or craspeda, tergal setae S1 small and wide apart, arising between campaniform sensilla; VIII with group of microtrichia anterior to spiracle, posterior margin with regular comb of long microtrichia (Figs 17–20); IX with 2 pairs of CPS; X with median split almost complete. Pleurotergites without discal setae. Sternites III–VII without discal setae, 3 pairs of marginal setae, sternite VII posteromarginal setae long, S1 arising in front of posterior margin, S2 either at or in front of margin (Fig. 22). Male similar to female; tergite IX with three pairs of stout, dark, thorn-like setae (Figs 20–21, 25); sternites without discal setae, with or without pore plates (Figs 26–27).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C287FFEF05463C30E1FF77FD526281	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Subsequently, two females were reported from the Philippines (Reyes 1994), one male was recorded from Australia in northern Queensland (Mound &amp; Tree 2020), and the species is here reported for the first time from Peninsular Malaysia. Most Thripidae have two pairs of setae on the metascutum, a strong and usually long median pair that may arise on the anterior margin or further back on this sclerite, and a second smaller pair laterally. In contrast, fasciatus has one, two or even three extra setae on the metascutum mesad of the major pair. However, these extra setae are not stable either in their presence or in their position (Figs 11–13). In the sample from the tree canopy listed below, one female has 3 extra setae medially, 7 females and 3 males have two medially, one female and 3 males have a single seta medially, and one male has two extra setae medially but has one of the major setae not developed. Moreover, the three females from which the new species L. tribulationi is described also have these extra metascutal setae (Fig. 15).</p><p>The specimens of L. fasciatus collected in Malaysia were taken from flowers in the canopy of a large rainforest tree, a species of Dipterocarpus, and the samples also included the Thripidae species Tenothrips keruing (Ng et al. 2019) . This host association might suggest why L. fasciatus is rarely collected despite being reported so widely. Thrips that live high in the tree canopy, on flowers, or on leaves or on dead branches, are difficult to sample effectively (Mound 2020). However, Yamazaki et al. (2020) have demonstrated that the number of Thysanoptera individuals taken from tree canopies in Brazil can be greater than the number of any other group of insects apart from Diptera and Hymenoptera.</p><p>Female macroptera. Body pale, abdominal segments II and VII with dark marking, IX–X varying from darker yellow to brown; all tibiae and tarsi yellow; antennal segments I–II slightly shaded, III–IV pale, V–VI shaded, VII–VIII pale; fore wings with two shaded cross bands, at middle and at apex (Fig. 23). With the structural character states in the generic diagnosis: Head with areas in front of first ocellus and ocellar area smooth, vertex with fine strong transverse striations; ocellar setae III long, arising within ocellar triangle in line with anterior margins of posterior ocelli; five pairs of short postocular setae in single row, the first pair arising just behind posterior ocelli. Pronotum with few sculpture lines and more than 20 small, scattered discal setae. Metascutum with longitudinally elongate reticulation; with 1 or 2 (rarely 3) setae medially between the major median setal pair (Figs 11–13); campaniform sensilla wide apart and close to posterior margin. Fore wing first vein with 7 setae on basal half, 3 setae on distal half. Abdominal tergite I with transverse lines anteriorly; tergites II–VII smooth on median area mesad of setae pair II; tergite IX with two pairs of CPS. Sternite VII posteromarginal setae long, setae S2 arising at margin.</p><p>Male macroptera.
