Terebrantia
Terebrantia is a suborder of thrips (order Thysanoptera). Order Thysanoptera includes 5,500 species classified into two suborders distinguished by the ovipositor. Terebrantia have a well-developed conical ovipositor, while the Tubulifera do not. It contains 13 families, five of which are only known from fossils. Members of Terebrantia mainly feed on plants Plants are predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. Historically, the plant kingdom encompassed all living things that were not animals, and included algae and fungi; however, all current definitions of Plantae exclude .... All have two larval instars followed by two pupal instars. References * Mound, L.A., Nakahara, S. & Tsuda, D.M. 2016. Thysanoptera-Terebrantia of the Hawaiian Islands: an identification manual.

Thrips
Thrips (order Thysanoptera) are minute (mostly long or less), slender insects with fringed wings and unique asymmetrical mouthparts. Different thrips species feed mostly on plants by puncturing and sucking up the contents, although a few are predators. Entomologists have described approximately 6,000 species. They fly only weakly and their feathery wings are unsuitable for conventional flight; instead, thrips exploit an unusual mechanism, clap and fling, to create lift using an unsteady circulation pattern with transient vortices near the wings. Many thrips species are pests of commercially important crops. A few species serve as vectors for over 20 viruses that cause plant disease, especially the Tospoviruses. Some species of thrips are beneficial as pollinators or as predators of other insects or mites. In the right conditions, such as in greenhouses, many species can exponentially increase in population size and form large swarms because of a lack of natural predator ...

Uzelothripidae
''Uzelothrips'' is a genus of thrips, and the only genus in the family Uzelothripidae. Up until 2012 it contained a single species, ''U. scabrosus'', known from Belém, Brazil; Brisbane, Australia; Singapore, and Angola. In 2012 a new extinct species, ''U. eocenicus'', was described from the lowermost Eocene of France by Patricia Nel and André Nel in 2012. The species name refers to the age it existed in. The group name is in honour of Jindřich (or Heinrich) Uzel, a Czech entomologist who published the first monograph on the thrips. The family is identified by the whip-like tip to the antenna. ''U. scabrosus'' is known to inhabit dead debris from plants in the genera '' Hevea'' and '' Bixa'', as well as the species ''Eucalyptus major''.

Aeolothripidae
The Aeolothripidae are a family of thrips. They are particularly common in the holarctic region, although several occur in the drier parts of the subtropics, including dozens in Australia. Adults and larvae are usually found in flowers, but they pupate on the ground. While they normally prey on other arthropods, many feed also on flowers.Mound, L.A. (1977). A new genus of Aeolothripidae (Thysanoptera) from New Zealand and New Caledonia. ''New Zealand Journal of Zoology 4:149-152PDF(''Desmidothrips'') Genus ''Aeolothrips'', which contains about half of all species in this family, mostly live on flowers, although a few species live at ground level as obligate predators of mites. Those that live on flowers are normally facultative predators. '' A. intermedius'' requires floral proteins in its diet in addition to its regular prey of thrips larvae to breed successfully.

Phlaeothripidae
Phlaeothripidae is a family of thrips with hundreds of genera. They are the only extant family of the suborder Tubulifera, alongside the extinct family Rohrthripidae and are themselves ordered into two subfamilies, the Idolothripinae with 80 genera, and the Phlaeothripinae with almost 400. Some 3,400 species are recognised in this family, and many are fungivores living in the tropics.Moritz, G., D. Morris, and L. Mound. 2001. ThripsID: pest thrips of the world. ACIAR and CSIRO Publishing, Collingwood. Thrips from this family are fairly common, and are generally larger than those in the suborder Terebrantia (containing all other thrips). '' Idolothrips marginatus'' can attain a body length of up to 14 mm. The group is distinguished by having the last abdominal segment modified into a tube-like structure – hence the suborder's name, which means "tube-bearers". Selected species Some of the better-known species are: * '' Aleurothrips fasciapennis'' (Franklin) - feeds o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Franklinothrips
''Franklinothrips'' is a genus of thrips with pantropical distribution. Name The genus name is derived from the surname of entomologist H. J. Franklin, who described thrips taxa in the early 1900s. The thrips genus ''Frankliniella'' is also named after him. Franklin worked at the entomology department of the University of Massachusetts Amherst in the 1930s. Reproduction Most species are apparently bisexual (have both males and females) and occur only in small areas. An exception is ''F. vespiformis'', which is unisexual (mostly females) and occurs in many tropical countries. Only few males were produced during rearing programmes involving ''F. vespiformis''. Mimicry The fast-running females are easily misidentified as ants or bethylid wasps (superfamily Chrysidoidea). Particularly the African species ''F. megalops'' very closely mimics ants in its behavior and body form. Males are less ant-like in appearance. They are smaller, have longer antennae and a less constricted waist ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alexander Henry Haliday
Alexander Henry Haliday (1806–1870, also known as Enrico Alessandro Haliday, Alexis Heinrich Haliday, or simply Haliday) was an Ireland, Irish entomologist. He is primarily known for his work on Hymenoptera, Diptera, and Thysanoptera, but worked on all insect orders and on many aspects of entomology. Haliday was born in Carnmoney, Co. Antrim later living in Holywood, County Down, Holywood, County Down, Ireland. A boyhood friend of Robert Templeton, he divided his time between Ireland and Lucca, where he co-founded the La Società Entomologica Italiana, Italian Entomological Society with Camillo Rondani and Adolfo Targioni Tozzetti. He was a member of the Royal Irish Academy, the Belfast Natural History Society, the Royal Microscopical Society, Microscopical Society of London, and the Galileiana Academy of Arts and Science, as well as a fellow of the (now Royal) Royal Entomological Society, Entomological Society of London.
