Three species are here recognised in the Oriental genus Anascirtothrips Bhatti. One of these species has apparently been widely dispersed by the horticultural trade. A. arorai Bhatti is widespread in India on Ficus religiosa, has been recorded as damaging young Ficus leaves in commercial nurseries in Florida, and is here recorded from northern Australia for the first time on cultivated Ficus species. A. discordiae Chen & Lu was described from Ficus septica in Taiwan. A. arafura sp. n. is described from Ficus opposita and F. ?microcarpa on Melville and Bathurst Islands off the northern coast of Australia. The genus is redefined and compared with the worldwide genus Scirtothrips as well as the northern Australian genus Labiothrips, and a key is provided to the three species.

擬跳薊馬屬已知3種，均分布於東方，其中1種經由園藝作物之貿易而在世界廣為擴散。A. arorai Bhatti原普遍存在於印度之菩提樹上，曾在美國佛羅里達州苗圃中被發現危害榕樹葉片，本文首次報告該種薊馬在澳洲北部商業栽植之榕屬植物上發現。脊擬跳薊馬(A. discordiae Chen & Lu)曾在台灣菱果榕(Ficus septica)上採得。A. arafura sp. n.在澳洲北海岸Melville島與Bathurst島之榕樹(Ficus opposita, F. ?microcarpa)採得。本文重新定義本屬薊馬並與常見之跳薊馬屬(Scirtothrips)及澳洲北部之Labiothrips屬比較，亦提供本屬3種之檢索表。
