Abstract
Urothrips is one of a group of 10 genera of fungus-feeding Phlaeothripinae in which species have the tenth abdominal segment greatly elongate and bearing long anal setae (Mound 1972; Okajima 2006). The genus is recorded from Africa, Asia and Australia (ThripsWiki 2019), and currently comprises 11 species. A key to nine of these species was provided by Ulitzka and Mound (2014), to which two further species from China were added subsequently (Tong Zhao 2017; Zhao Tong 2017). The purpose of this paper is to describe a new species of Urothrips. This is the fifth member of the genus recorded from China, the others being U. calvus Tong Zhao, U. lancangensis Zhao Tong, U. gibberosa Kudo and U. tarai Stannard.
