Frankliniella cephalica (Crawford), a neotropic species, is newly recorded from flowers of
Bidens pilosa L. and
Ipomoea batatas (L.) in Ryukyu Is., Southwest Japan. Previously, only four species of the genus
Frankliniella Karny have been reported in Japan.
F. cephalica can be easily distinguished from other members of this genus in Japan by an antennal segment II produced dorsally with two stout setae and a pedicel of segment III with a pronounced sharp-edged subbasal ring.
