“The stipites throughout the genus are conspicuously dilated for about half their length from the base upward, the other portion of them being comparatively very narrow.”
“From an underground, thick, oblique rhizome, the short, green, succulent stipites arise, in a tufted form, and are crinite with brown, subulate, shining scales.”
“Thrips mouthparts comprise a mouthcone, consisting of the labrum, labium, a pair of maxillary stipites and laciniae, and another stylet that is a slender left mandible.”
