Negritothripa aureata sp. n.
11mm. The basic pattern elements of the forewing are as in congeners but it is
much more variegated: whitish in a lens along the costa, in a triangular zone
basal to the antemedial, sandy whitish in a tornal spot and the patches on the
dorsum, and darker golden greenish brown elsewhere. The fine fasciae and
double-ringed reniform are conspicuous in the costal lens. The genitalia are
very similar to those of confluens, but the rasp-like signum is much
narrower.
