''Koptothrips'' is a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae, first described by Richard Siddoway Bagnall in 1929.Bagnall, R.S. 1929. On some new genera and species of Australian Thysanoptera (Tubulifera) with special reference to gall-species. ''Marcellia (Rivista Internazionale di Cecidologia)'' 25(1928): 184-204 97 Species in this genus are kleptoparasites, that is they steal galls made by thrips in the '' Kladothrips'' genus on ''Acacia'' phyllodes. They kill the ''Kladothrips'' adults but feed on the gall. Species There are just four species in this genus, all of which are found in Australia, in all mainland states and territories. * '' Koptothrips dyskritus'' * '' Koptothrips flavicornis'' * ''Koptothrips xenus ''Koptothrips'' is a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae, first described by Richard Siddoway Bagnall in 1929.Bagnall, R.S. 1929.

Richard Siddoway Bagnall
Richard Siddoway Bagnall (14 July 1884 - 19 January 1962) was an English entomologist. Bagnall specialised in Thysanoptera and published several important works on the higher classification of this insect order throughout the world, describing many new genera and species. Early life and education Richard Siddoway Bagnall was born in Winlaton, England (near Whickham) on 14 July 1884 to father Thomas W. Bagnall (1862-ca.1907) and mother Emily Florence Lane (ca. 1862-1932). He had meningitis and rheumatic fever as a child, and although his two brothers went to boarding school in their teenage years, Bagnall was sheltered by his family and educated privately at home. He showed a keen interest in entomology during his childhood, being active in the Vale of Derwent Naturalist Field Club and publishing his first paper in 1906 on an unusual beetle that he collected from his cellar. Entomological Research Bagnall described 577 species and 100 genera within the insect order Thysano ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...

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 ...

Phlaeothripidae is a family of thrips Thrips (Order (biology) , order Thysanoptera) are minute (mostly long or less), slender insects with fringed wings and unique asymmetrical mouthparts. Entomologists have species description , described approximately 7,700 species. They fly on ... 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 dis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Acacia
''Acacia'', commonly known as wattles or acacias, is a genus of about of shrubs and trees in the subfamily Mimosoideae of the pea family Fabaceae. Initially, it comprised a group of plant species native to Africa, South America, and Australasia, but is now reserved for species mainly from Australia, with others from New Guinea, Southeast Asia, and the Indian Ocean. The genus name is Neo-Latin, borrowed from Koine Greek (), a term used in antiquity to describe a preparation extracted from '' Vachellia nilotica'', the original type species. Several species of ''Acacia'' have been introduced to various parts of the world, and two million hectares of commercial plantations have been established. Description Plants in the genus ''Acacia'' are shrubs or trees with bipinnate leaves, the mature leaves sometimes reduced to phyllodes or rarely absent. There are 2 small stipules at the base of the leaf, but sometimes fall off as the leaf matures. The flowers are borne in spik ...
