An Updated Checklist of Thrips from Slovakia with Emphasis on Economic Species Original Paper Plant Protection Science, 56, 2020 (4): 292–304 https://doi.org/10.17221/87/2020-PPS An updated checklist of thrips from Slovakia with emphasis on economic species Martina Zvaríková, Rudolf Masarovič, Pavol Prokop; Peter Fedor* Department of Environmental Ecology, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Citation: Zvaríková M., Masarovič R., Prokop P., Fedor P. (2020): An updated checklist of thrips from Slovakia with emphasis on economic species. Plant Protect. Sci., 56: 292–304. Abstract: Almost sixty years after the first published plea for more systematic research on thrips in Slovakia, the checklist undisputedly requires an appropriate revision with a special emphasis on the economic consequences of climate change and biological commodity trade globalisation synergic effects, followed by the dynamic and significant changes in the native biodiversity due to alien species introduction. The updated checklist contains 189 species recorded from the area of Slovakia, from three families: Aeolothripidae Uzel, 1895 (15 species), Thripidae Stephens, 1829 (113 species) and Phlaeothripidae Uzel, 1895 (61 species), including 7 beneficiary and 35 economic pest elements, such as one A2 EPPO quarantine pest (Frankliniella occidentalis) and five potential transmitters of tospoviruses (F. occidentalis, F. intonsa, F. fusca, Thrips tabaci, Dictyothrips betae). Several species (e.g., Hercinothrips femoralis, Microcephalothrips abdomi- nalis, F. occidentalis, T. flavus, T. tabaci, Limothrips cerealium, L. denticornis, etc.) may possess a heavy introduction and invasion potential with well-developed mechanisms for successful dispersion.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT – Almost 50 species of the insect order Thysanoptera are here listed from Barrow Island, Western Australia, of which several are known only from this island. This cannot be interpreted as indicating that any species is endemic to the island, because almost nothing is known of the Thysanoptera fauna of the nearby mainland.

  • Thrips on Oat in Western Romania
    Research Journal of Agricultural Science, 50 (4), 2018 THRIPS ON OAT IN WESTERN ROMANIA F. PARNEA, Ana – Maria VÎRTEIU1*, Ioana GROZEA1 1Department of Biology and Plant Protection, Banat’s University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine "King Michael I of Romania" from Timisoara * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract. The oat crop in western Romania has begun to occupy increasingly large areas, as the fertile soil in this area along with a modern, properly applied technology has allowed farmers to obtain high yields. Thus, in order to develop an adequate pest control strategy for oat crops, it is necessary to understand the particularities related to phenology, distribution and life cycle of major pests of this crop. Among insects present in oat crops, thrips are between those that cause significant yields losses. Regarding biology, ecology, and control of thrips, a significant number of works have been published so far, but the changing climate conditions with arid tendencies make this knowledge to be far from satisfied. In Romania, research on this group of insects were numerous, being localized mainly on the species present in economically important cereal crops. In this context, the authors have recently conducted a series of research on the taxonomy of thrips species present in this crop. The experimental plots were placed in the western part of Romania, near the village of Sag, the experience being carried out during 2017 - 2018. In the investigated period, 474 specimens were collected from the oat crop, belonging to 8 species of thrips. In each experimental variant Limothrips cerealium Holiday and Limothrips denticornis Holiday were the dominant species.

  • Predation by Insects and Mites
    1.2 Predation by insects and mites Maurice W. Sabelis & Paul C.J. van Rijn University of Amsterdam, Section Population Biology, Kruislaan 320, 1098 SM Amsterdam, The Netherlands Predatory arthropods probably play a prominent role in determining the numbers of plant-feeding thrips on plants under natural conditions. Several reviews have been published listing the arthropods observed to feed and reproduce on a diet of thrips. In chronological order the most notable and comprehensive reviews have been presented by Lewis (1973), Ananthakrishnan (1973, 1979, 1984), Ananthakrishnan and Sureshkumar (1985) and Riudavets (1995) (see also general arthropod enemy inventories published by Thompson and Simmonds (1965), Herting and Simmonds (1971) and Fry (1987)). Numerous arthropods, recognised as predators of phytophagous thrips, have proven their capacity to eliminate or suppress thrips populations in greenhouse and field crops of agricultural importance (see chapters 16 and 18 of Lewis, 1997), but a detailed analysis of the relative importance of predators, parasitoids, parasites and pathogens under natural conditions is virtually absent. Such investigations would improve understanding of the mortality factors and selective forces moulding thrips behaviour and life history, and also indicate new directions for biological control of thrips. In particular, such studies may help to elucidate the consequences of introducing different types of biological control agents against different pests and diseases in the same crop, many of which harbour food webs of increasing complexity. There are three major reasons why food web complexity on plants goes beyond one- predator-one-herbivore systems. First, it is the plant that exhibits a bewildering variety of traits that promote or reduce the effectiveness of the predator.

MOUND & ALICE WELLS Australian National Insect Collection CSIRO, PO Box 1700, Canberra, ACT 2601. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The thrips fauna of Norfolk Island is a curious mix of endemics and adventives, with notable absences that include one major trophic group. A brief introduction is provided to the history of human settlement and its ecological impact on this tiny land mass in the western Pacific Ocean. The Thysanoptera fauna comprises about 20% endemic and almost 50% widespread invasive species, and shows limited faunal relationships to the nearest territories, Australia, New Caledonia and New Zealand. This fauna, comprising 66 species, includes among named species 29 Terebrantia and 33 Tubulifera, with four Tubulifera remaining undescribed. At least 12 species are endemics, of which 10 are mycophagous, and up to 10 further species are possibly native to the island. As with the thrips fauna of most Pacific islands, many species are wide- spread invasives. However, most of the common thrips of eastern Australia have not been found on Norfolk Island, and the complete absence of leaf-feeding Phlaeothripinae is notable. The following new taxa are described: in the Phlaeothrip- idae, Buffettithrips rauti gen. et sp. n. and Priesneria akestra sp.

The flight period of two dominant species, namely Haplothrips angusticornis Priesner and Haplothrips aculeatus Fabricius (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae), was observed in high number in Europe. Also, it was the first record of mass flight observation of H. angusticornis. In addition, the effect of meteorological factors, such as temperature, sunshine duration, relative humidity, air pressure, and their influences, were evaluated.

ZooKeys 317: 27–52. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.317.5447 Abstract An illustrated key is provided for the identification of 35 genera of Thripinae (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) from Iran with comments for each genus. Chirothrips maximi Ananthakrishnan and Limothrips cerealium Haliday are recorded from Iran for the first time. A checklist is provided of Thripinae recorded from this country. Keywords Thysanoptera, Thripinae, identification, Iran Introduction The family Thripidae (Thysanoptera: Terebrantia) at present comprises more than 2000 described species, which are classified into four subfamilies, Thripinae, Dendro- thripinae, Sericothripinae, and Panchaetothripinae (Bhatti 1989). The present study follows the interpretation of Thripinae in this classification. Another recent classifica- tion of Terebrantia (Bhatti 2006) recognizes three superfamilies and 12 families for taxa included in the four subfamilies of Thripidae, and the taxa of the earlier subfam- ily Thripinae are included in three families (Chirothripidae, Projectothripidae, and Thripidae) (Bhatti 2006).
