Phlaeothripinae Index | Glossary A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Phlaeothripinae Introduction The sub-order Tubulifera comprises a single family of living thrips, the Phlaeothripidae, and in this two subfamilies are recognised (ThripsWiki, 2020). In subfamily Phlaeothripinae there are 2990 described species in 370 genera worldwide, and in the Idolothripinae 735 species in 83 genera. An alternative classification proposed by Bhatti (1992, 1994) recognised an Head & pronotum Female [Timor Leste] Prosternites & eyes Order Tubulifera in which eight small families were distinguished from Phlaeothripidae. There is no general introduction to the Phlaeothripidae of Australia, but introductions are available to taxa in this Family from the Neotropics (Mound & Marullo, 1996) and also from Japan (Okajima, 2006). The Australian fauna of Phlaeothripinae currently comprises 530 species in 115 genera (ABRS, 2020). No Female Prosternites introduction is available to the diversity of these taxa, although revisionary accounts are available for most of the major groups within the subfamily. Within the Phlaeothripinae there seem to be three major lineages (Mound & Marullo, 1996). The “Phlaeothrips lineage” comprises in Australia a diverse suite of fungus-feeders on dead branches (Mound & Tree, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016; Mound et al., 2020), with a second suite usually found in leaf litter (Mound, Male head, pronotum & fore legs 1972, 2013; Mound & Tree, 2015, 2018; Wang et al., 2019). Completely wingless species in litter sometimes exist as a mosaic of slightly different looking forms, presumably due to limited gene flow between localised demes, and taxonomic interpretations of this variation remain conjectural. The “Haplothrips lineage” that constitutes the Tribe Haplothripini are commonly flower-living (Mound & Minaei, 2007). However, within this group there are also genera of predatory species such as the grass-living Podothrips species (Mound & Minaei, 2007), and the species of Xylaplothrips and Mesandrothrips (Mound & Tree, 2019). The third major group within the Phlaeothripinae comprises leaf-feeding species of the “Liothrips lineage”. Many such species occur in the moister forests of eastern Australia, where they are known to induce leaf-rolling on various trees and shrubs; one is particularly common on the cultivars of Callistemon citrinum (Mound, 2008). On the Australian phyllodinous Acacia species there has been an extensive and structurally diverse thrips radiation. Some species induce pouch galls on phyllodes, and a few of these species have a caste of non-breeding wingless individuals that function as soldiers to repel intruding insects, particularly a suite of kleptoparasitic Phlaeothripinae (Crespi et al., 2004). Species of another group of genera have the remarkable ability of glueing or sewing together two or more phyllodes of an Acacia tree in order to produce a domicile within which to breed (Bono & Crespi, 2008). Moreover, such domiciles are also invaded by yet other kleptoparasitic Phlaeothripinae. Species of another genus induce woody galls on various Casuarina trees, and these galls are, in turn, invaded by one or more kleptoparasitic Phlaeothripinae species (Mound & Crespi, 1992). One such kleptoparasitic thrips in Western Australia is noteworthy for dimorphism in the male genitalia (Mound et al., 1998).

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. KEYWORDS: Thysanoptera, thrips, Barrow Island INTRODUCTION taxa that have been recognised from the available samples. The Australian fauna of the insect order Thysanoptera is far from exhaustively known. Within the order Thysanoptera, two suborders The number of correctly identified species from are recognised, both of which are well represented this continent was less than 20 in 1915, about 225 on Barrow Island.

Abstract Caliothrips fasciatus is native to the USA and western Mexico and overwintering adults are regular contaminants in the ‘navel’ of navel oranges exported from California, USA to Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere. Due to the long history of regular interceptions of C. fasciatus in Australia, a survey for this thrips was undertaken around airports, seaports, public recreational parks and major agricul- tural areas in the states of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia to determine whether C. fasciatus has successfully invaded Australia. Host plants that are known to support populations of C. fasciatus, such as various annual and perennial agricultural crops, urban ornamentals and weeds along with native Australian flora, were sampled for this thrips. A total of 4675 thrips specimens encompassing at least 76 species from a minimum of 47 genera, and three families were collected from at least 159 plant species in 67 families. Caliothrips striatopterus was collected in Queensland, but the target species, C. fasciatus, was not found anywhere. An undescribed genus of Thripidae, Panchaetothripinae, was collected from ornamental Grevillea (var.

  • Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae): Redefinition and Key to Species
    The southern Palaearctic genus Neoheegeria (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae): redefinition and key to species Kambiz Minaei, Parvaneh Azemayeshfard & Laurence A. Mound Problems in character state definition and interpretation in the Haplothrips-group are discussed, together with their implications for species identification and systematics. As a result, Neoheegeria Schmutz, 1909 is redefined to include only those species in this group that have three sensoria on the third antennal segment. The subgenus Haplothrips (Gigaplothrips) Priesner, 1949 is synonymised with Neoheegeria, and four species are recognized as valid; N. dalmatica Schmutz, 1909, N. gigantea (Priesner, 1934) comb.n., N. persica Priesner, 1954, and N. sinaitica Priesner, 1934. Three new synonyms are recognized under N. dalmatica; N. ballotae Priesner, 1951, N. hamanni Priesner, 1961 and N. nevskyi Moulton, 1946, and this species is widely distributed in the southern Palearctic. In contrast, N. persica and N. sinaitica are known only from Iran and Egypt respectively, and N. gigantea from Egypt to Morocco. The following six new combinations involve species with less than three sensoria on the third antennal segment: Haplothrips biroi (Priesner, 1928), H. faurei (Zur Strassen, 1966), H. hrasvamukha (Ramakrishna, 1928), H. johni (Priesner, 1925), H. lederi (Priesner, 1924), and H. verbasci (Osborn, 1897). One new combination involves an unrelated species from India, Xylaplothrips montanus (Ananthakrishnan & Jagadish, 1970). The available biological data suggest that species of Neoheegeria are associated particularly with the flowers of Lamiaceae. K. Minaei * & P.

T manipurensis laid eggs linearly along the margins of tender leaves. Eggs hatched in 6.8 d and the larval duration was 3.4 and 8.2 d for larvae I and II, respectively. After 20.2 h as prepupa, T manipurensis grew into pupa; adult emergence occurred in 4 d. Each female laid 34±7 eggs and the mean longevity of the adult was 10.2 d. Increase in thrips numbers correlated with the age of the gall: 15 individ- uals/gall occurred in young (4—10 d) galls, whereas 28 occurred in mature (20 d) galls, and 36 in old (25 d) galls. Male-female ratio in old galls was 1:5. Mature galls included a homogeneous tissue structure, made of 12-15 layers of parenchyma cells with no distinction into spongy and palisade cells.

  • Phlaeothripidae: Thysanoptera
    Vol. XXII, No. 3, December, 1977 495 A Review of the Hawaiian Species of Idolothripinae (Phlaeothripidae: Thysanoptera) K. Sakimura and F. A. Bianchi BISHOP MUSEUM, HONOLULU, HAWAII Published knowledge of the Hawaiian tubuliferous thrips fauna is meager. This is largely due to the limited extent to which our findings have been reported in the past. Those accumulated findings are being jointly reported in this paper and in others to follow. The primary objective of these papers is to assemble all the information on these thrips together in a ready reference available for local use. All the Hawaiian literatures will be completely cited. Recent innovations in the systematics of the suborder Tubulifera, specifically the two major contributions by Mound (1974a, b) on the Pacific Idolothripinae, provided impetus to the study of the Hawaiian species. The last review of the Hawaiian Thysanoptera (Zimmerman 1948) is in need of extensive clarifications and additions. It listed only six idolothripine species. In the present review, one synonymy and two nomenclatural changes are reported, and four more species, including one new to science, are added. A new idolothripine species described subsequent to the last review was found to have been misplaced in this subfamily. Among nine species listed here, only three are considered endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Materials accumulated in the Sakimura Collection and the Bishop Museum Collection are all pooled in this work. The Bianchi Collection, which included the HSPA Collection and the Hawaiian Entomological Society Collection, is now deposited in the Bernice P. Biship Museum. In our listings of "Material Studied" and "Earlier Collection Recorded", specimens from the Sakimura Collection are all specified by his accession numbers, and those from the Bishop Museum Collection are marked with an asterisk.

Abstract The Tribe Leeuweniini is a group of Old World Phlaeothripinae species that feed and usually induce irregular galls on the leaves of rainforest trees. These thrips all have the last abdominal segment unusually elongate, but this is a variable and homoplastic character state, and the tribe remains ill- defined. Worldwide, 27 species in three genera are now recognised, with five other generic names here included as synonyms of Leeuwenia Karny. From Australia, six species in two genera are recorded here occurring in the eastern rainforests. Four newly described Australian species and their host plants are: Leeuwenia diospyri sp. n. (Diospyros pentamera–Ebenaceae); L. polyosmae sp. n. (Polyosma cunninghamii–Grossulariaceae); L. scolopiae sp. n. (Scolopia braunii–Flacourtiaceae); and L. tetrastigmae sp. n.

The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

  • Hoplothrips Karnyi Distinguishing Features Both Sexes Either Fully Winged Or with Wings Shorter Than Thorax Width
    Hoplothrips karnyi Distinguishing features Both sexes either fully winged or with wings shorter than thorax width. Body and legs brown, tarsi and much of fore tibiae yellow, also hind tibiae sometimes yellow at base; antennal segment III mainly yellow, IV–VI variably yellow at base; fore wings weakly Pelta & tergite II shaded toward apex. Antennae 8-segmented; sense Female Antenna cones longer in winged than wingless individuals, segment III with 3 sense cones, IV with 4 sense cones; VIII constricted to base. Head longer than wide, slightly wider across cheeks than across eyes, cheeks without prominent tubercles, but with several small setae in wingless individuals; postocular setae long Male sternite VIII and pointed, wide apart; maxillary stylets retracted to eyes, close together medially. Pronotum without sculpture medially; with four pairs of slender pointed major setae, anteromarginal setae Male head, pronotum & fore legs small. Fore tarsal tooth small in winged but large in wingless individuals. Metanotum without sculpture medially. Fore wing parallel sided, with about 10 duplicated cilia. Abdominal tergites II–VII with two pairs of sigmoid wing-retaining setae, even in wingless individuals, marginal setae S1 long and pointed; tergite IX setae S1 pointed, almost as long as tube. Male varying in size, large males with fore femora swollen; tergite IX setae S2 short and stout; sternite VIII with transverse pore plate extending full width of sternite. Related species This species is not known from California, but is included here as one specimen has been seen from British Colombia. H. karnyi from North America is possibly the same species as the European H.

ZooKeys 786: 59–68.https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.786.28332 Abstract Haplothrips shivendraii Tyagi & Kumar, sp. n. is described from Rajasthan state of India. The monobasic Austro-oriental genus Dyothrips Kudô is formally synonymised with Haplothrips. Keywords Dyothrips, Haplothrips, India, new species, synonym. Introduction The generaHaplothrips , Dyothrips, and Plicothrips belong to tribe Haplothripini in the subfamily Phlaeothripinae, family Phlaeothripidae (Mound and Minaei 2007, Minaei and Mound 2008). Haplothrips was erected by Amyot and Serville (1843) for the single species, Phloeothrips albipennis Burmeister, 1836. It is the second largest genus in the family Phlaeothripidae and comprises the two subgenera Haplothrips and Trybomiella. These are distinguished by the presence or absence of fore wing duplicated cilia, pre- sent in Haplothrips and absent in Trybomiella.
