Abstract

The genus Sedulothrips is redefined, a key is provided for the separation of the species, and the morphological variation and biology of the species are discussed. Only 2 species are recognized, vigilans (Hood) and tristis Hood, and the other nominal species in the genus, (brevispinosus Moulton, hubbelli Watson, insolens Bagnall, and quichua Hood), are placed as synonyms of vigilans. More than 400 specimens collected between central Mexico and southern Brazil were studied.
