Abstract
The Phlaeothripinae genus Terthrothrips is recorded from China for the first time, with a key to the three species here recorded, including one new species, T. palmatus. This differs from the known species of the genus by the pronotal antero-marginalsetae being well developed and broadly expanded at the apex. New distribution information is provided for T. apterus Kudo and T. parvus Okajima, described originally from Japan.
