Echinothrips Americanus
''Echinothrips americanus'' is a species of thrips (the Order (biology), taxonomic order Thysanoptera) in the family Thripidae. It is found in North America, Europe, and Asia. ''E. americanus'' was first described in 1913 by entomologist Alfred Cookman Morgan, A.C. Morgan in Quincy, Florida, where he found the insect on a ''Veratrum viride'' plant (common name green false-hellebore). Suggested common names include Poinsettia thrips and Impatiens thrips. Since their spread throughout Europe as early as 1995, and subsequently China, ''E. americanus'' has been called an "upcoming pest." Etymology Insects belonging to the order Thysanoptera were named thrips meaning "woodworm," by Carl Linnaeus. Physical appearance Thrips, including ''E. americanus'', are usually no longer than 1mm. Individual ''E. americanus'' are generally brown or black. A.C. Morgan provides a detailed description of several individuals in his publication declaring his discovery of the species. Males are gener ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dudley Moulton
Dudley Moulton (28 December 1878 – 5 July 1951) was an American entomologist who specialized in the study of thrips while working as an entomologist on quarantine duty and later in administration of the department of agriculture in California. Moulton was born in farming family in San Jose. He received an A.B. (1903) and M.A. (1906) from Stanford University, studying under Vernon Kellogg. He then worked as an entomologist for Santa Clara County for a couple of years before working for the quarantine department at San Francisco. He took an early interest in the pear thrip in 1904 at a time when it was a serious pest and later maintained an interest in thrips outside of his main professional work and asked his colleagues to collect for him. In 1909 he became Deputy State Commissioner of Horticulture for California. In 1931 he became director of the department of agriculture for the state of California. His thrip collections, which were finally placed in the California Academy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thrip
Thrips (order Thysanoptera) are minute (mostly long or less), slender insects with fringed wings and unique asymmetrical mouthparts. Entomologists have described approximately 7,700 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. Thrips are a functionally diverse group; many of the known species are fungivorous. A small proportion of the species are serious pests of commercially important crops. Some of these serve as vectors for over 20 viruses that cause plant disease, especially the Tospoviruses. Many flower-dwelling species bring benefits as pollinators, with some predatory thrips feeding on small insects or mites. In the right conditions, such as in greenhouses, invasive species can exponentially increase in population size and form large swarms because of a lack of na ...

Thripidae
The Thripidae are the most speciose family of thrips, with over 290 genera representing just over two thousand species. They can be distinguished from other thrips by a saw-like ovipositor curving downwards, narrow wings with two veins, and antennae of six to ten antennomeres with stiletto-like forked sense cones on antennal segments III and IV. They are considered to be among the more derived of thrips, having evolved many traits key to specializing as cryptophilous phytovores, living in the narrow spaces at the bases of leaves and within flowers. Several species are economically significant pests, some of them invasive. Almost all of them are typical thrips which belong in the largest subfamily, the Thripinae. Systematics Many of the divisions within the Thripidae are not based on common ancestry, but are instead based on common environment and morphological homoplasy, and these distinctions tend to be irrelevant to true phylogenetic relationships. As a result, many speci ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
