† Holarthrothrips miocaenicus

Details zur Nomenklatur & Synonyme

Holarthrothrips miocaenicus Schliephake, 1990: 172.

Biology and distribution

Fossil species, described from Saxonian (Eocene*) amber; also reported from Baltic amber.

*Note: The misleading name miocaenicus is due to the fact that Saxonian amber was originally dated to Miocene. Later, however, it has been recognised that this amber – like Baltic amber – originates from the Eocene.
