Description

Thrips florum Schmutz

Thrips florum Schmutz, 1913: 1003 Thrips exilicornis Hood, 1932: 129

This species is widespread around the tropics, and includes a further seven synonyms (Mound, 2010), including T. exilicornis that was described from Nigeria. Character states for distinguishing T. florum from the closely similar and even more widespread T. hawaiiensis are provided by Bhatti (1999). An analysis of the patterns of variation within and between populations variously identified as T. florum, T. exilicornis and T. hawaiiensis is given by Palmer & Wetton (1987).
