| dc.description | The subfamily Idolothripinae Bagnall (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) is a group of fungal spore-feeding thrips that worldwide includes about 700 species. Most of these species occur in tropical habitats, particularly in the wet tropics, and they have been little studied apart from descriptive taxonomy that is based mainly on specimens collected opportunistically. This study, based on targeted collecting of one particular habitat - newly dead branches with hanging dead leaves, endeavours to produce an understanding and identification system for this insect group in Peninsular Malaysia. More than 600 microscope slides were prepared as part of the study. A total of 17 genera and 36 species have been recorded for Peninsular Malaysia, of these 11 genera and 23 species were collected in this study. Elaphrothrips procer Schmutz is newly recorded from this area, one Machatothrips Bagnall is probably an undescribed species, and two species of Ethirothrips Karny cannot be identified. To maximise the value of the identification key due to predicted similarities in the thrips fauna across large areas of Southeast Asia, an identification key is generated to 31 genera of Idolothripinae recorded from the entire Southeast Asian region between Myanmar, Indonesia and the Philippines. Notes pertaining to diversity and habitat are given for each of the 17 genera recorded from Peninsular Malaysia, followed by generic diagnoses in the form of distinctive morphological characteristics. Identification keys to species are provided to 26 species of seven genera, with comments on intraspecific variations that cause taxonomic and identification problems. It is concluded from variation among these recently collected samples that the species taxonomy in some genera, such as Dinothrips, Elaphrothrips and Machatothrips, is not as straight forward as the available literature suggests.,Subfamili Idolothripinae Bagnall (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) adalah kumpulan thrip pemakan spora kulat, yang mempunyai kira-kira 700 spesies di seluruh dunia. Kebanyakan spesies wujud dalam habitat tropika terutamanya kawasan tropika basah. Kumpulan serangga ini amat jarang dikaji, selain daripada sedikit keperihalan taksonomi yang berasaskan pengumpulan secara rawak. Kajian ini berpandukan pengumpulan spesimen daripada habitat sasaran, iaitu ranting dan dahan baru mati dengan daun kering yang bergantung. Matlamat kajian adalah untuk menghasilkan pemahaman asas dan sistem pengecaman serangga ini di Semenanjung Malaysia. Lebih daripada 600 slaid spesimen telah disediakan. Antara 17 genus dan 36 spesies yang dicatatkan dalam senarai Idolothripinae daripada Semenanjung Malaysia, 11 genus dan 23 spesies adalah hasil pengumpulan kajian ini. Elaphrothrips procer Schmutz adalah rekod baru untuk Malaysia, satu spesies Machatothrips Bagnall berkemungkinan adalah spesies baru, manakala dua spesies Ethirothrips Karny tidak dapat dicamkan. Atas pertimbangan kemungkinan kesamaan fauna thrip di kawasan Asia Tenggara, kekunci pengecaman ke atas genus telah dibina, yang merangkumi 31 genus dari kawasan Asia Tenggara di antara lingkungan Myanmar, Indonesia dan Filipina. Maklumat berkaitan kepelbagaian spesies dan habitat setiap genus daripada 17 genus di Semenanjung Malaysia telah diulas, dengan pencerapan ciri-ciri morfologi. Kekunci pengecaman ke spesies untuk 26 spesies daripada tujuh genus telah disediakan, berserta perbincangan permasalahan taksonomi dan pengecaman akibat variasi intraspesifik. Kajian ini mendapati variasi morfologi untuk beberapa genus seperti Dinothrips, Elaphrothrips dan Machatothrips tidak dapat diringkaskan seperti yang dicadangkan dalam kajian lepas.,Master/Sarjana | |
