Thrips (Thysanoptera) New to Florida: II. Thripidae: Thripinae (Psydrothrips, Asprothrips)

Introduction

The first circular in this series on new thrips introductions to Florida documented two species of the subfamily Panchaetothripinae (Hamon and Edwards 1994). This circular is the first of several to report on the subfamily Thripinae. Although neither species of thrips reported here is listed in the CIE guides to insects of importance to man (Palmer et al. 1989), both appear to be of potential importance to the nursery industry, and one is of potential importance to the citrus industry in Florida.
