Abstract
A new species, Caliothrips tongi, is described from eastem China, and an old record of the North American bean thrips, Caliothrips fasciatus (Pergande), from the same area is considered unreliable. Oneilliella pallidizonata Kudo is transferred to Caliothrips as a new combination. The North American Bean Thrips, Caliothrips fasciatus (Pergande), is endemic to North America where it ranges from Florida to Idaho and California, and south into western Mexico (Hoddle et al, 2006, 2008).
