“…Kelly's citrus thrips was described from Australia by Bagnall (1916) as Physothrips kellyanus , although Steele (1935) referred to the species as Taeniothrips (Physothrips) kellyanus . Until the late 1960s several genera of Thripidae were ill‐defined assemblages of species with either seven‐ or eight‐segmented antennae, and during the reclassification of several such genera, Bhatti (1969) transferred KCT to Megalurothrips Bagnall. However, this genus comprises 12 species from the old‐world tropics, all of which breed only in various pea and bean flowers (Fabaceae).…”

Under controlled conditions of 25°C and 14 h light, adult Pezothrips kellyanus (Bagnall) were observed to have a peak mating time at 17:00 h, this almost coinciding with the time of minimum feeding. Filter papers on which males had walked attracted both sexes, the attraction being strongest when the odour was collected during the mating period and subsequently offered during this period. Field observations indicate that males aggregate and that females approach such aggregations for mating. In Australia, in the vicinity of citrus orchards, this thrips is associated particularly with nonAustralian perfumed white flowers. However, recent collecting indicates that the species is widespread in south-eastern coastal areas far distant from citrus cultivation, in the flowers of an Australian native plant, Myoporum insulare. Despite this host plant evidence, morphological evidence continues to suggest retention of the species in the northern hemisphere genus Pezothrips Karny, and thus the country of origin of the pest remains in doubt.
