Haplothrips

Clover thrips Haplothrips leucanthemi, photographed by Lynette Schimming.

Belongs within: Phlaeothripidae.

Haplothrips is a diverse genus of thrips, most species of which are flower-living though a few are predatory. The genus is most diverse in Europe and the Old World tropics. Almost all species are macropterous, except for a very few European species (Mound & Marullo 1996).

Characters (from Mound & Marullo 1996): Antennal segments VII and VIII distinct, segment IV with four sense cones; maxillary stylets one third to one quarter of head width apart, maxillary bridge always present; prosternal basantra well developed; tarsal tooth, when present, arising from inner margin of tarsus; anal setae less than 1.5 times as long as tube; usually macropterous, forewing constricted medially, usually with a series of duplicated cilia on posterior margin (if duplicated cilia absent, forewing is exceptionally broad).
