Abstract
A key to larvae of five thrips species, four of which are commonly found on stonefruit trees of the Granite Belt, southeast Queensland, is presented. Brief descriptions of three previously described species, Thrips imaginis Bagnall, T. australis (Bagnall) and T. tabaci Lindeman, are given. the larvae of a fourth species, Pseudanaphothrips achaetus> (Bagnall), are described for the first time. the fifth species included in the key, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande), is present in stonefruit flowers in other parts of the world and has recently been found in Australia but, thus far, not reported from Australian stonefruit trees. the larvae of F. occidentalis are briefly described.
