The Aeolothripidae are a family of thrips. They are particularly common in the holarctic region, although several occur in the drier parts of the subtropics, including dozens in Australia. Adults and larvae are usually found in flowers, but they pupate on the ground. While they normally prey on other arthropods, many feed also on flowers.〔Mound, L.A. (1977). A new genus of Aeolothripidae (Thysanoptera) from New Zealand and New Caledonia. ''New Zealand Journal of Zoology 4:149-152. (PDF ) (''Desmidothrips'')〕 Genus ''Aeolothrips'', which contains about half of all species in this family, mostly live on flowers, although a few species live at ground level as obligate predators of mites. Those that live on flowers are normally facultative predators. ''A. intermedius'' requires floral proteins in its diet in addition to its regular prey of thrips larvae to breed successfully. ''Franklinothrips'' is a pantropical genus of ant-mimicking predators. ==Genera== * ''Aduncothrips'' Ananthakrishnan, 1963 (one species, ''A. asiaticus'') * ''Aeolothrips'' Haliday, 1836 (95 species, holarctic) * ''Allelothrips'' Bagnall, 1932 (seven species) * ''Andrewarthaia'' Mound, 1967 (one species, ''A. kellyana'') * ''Audiothrips'' Moulton, 1930 (two species) * ''Corynothripoides'' Bagnall, 1926 (1 species, ''C. marginipennis'') * †''Cretothrips'' Grimaldi, 2004 (one fossil species, ''C. antiquus'') * ''Cycadothrips'' Mound, 1991 (three species) * ''Dactuliothrips'' Moulton, 1931 (six species) * ''Desmidothrips'' Mound, 1977 (two species) * ''Desmothrips'' Hood, 1915 (14 species, Australia) * ''Erythridothrips'' Mound & Marullo, 1993 (one species, ''E. cubilis'') * ''Erythrothrips'' Moulton, 1911 (12 species, western North and South America) * ''Euceratothrips'' Hood, 1936 (one species, ''E. marginipennis'') * ''Franklinothrips'' Back, 1912 (14 species, pantropical) * ''Gelothrips'' Bhatti, 1967 (three species) * ''Indothrips'' Bhatti, 1967 (one species, ''I. bhushani'') * ''Lamprothrips'' Moulton, 1935 (one species, ''L. miltoni'') * †''Liassothrips'' Priesner, 1949 (one fossil species, ''L. crassipes'') * †''Lithadothrips'' Scudder, 1875 (one fossil species, ''L. vetustus'') * ''Mymarothrips'' Bagnall, 1928 (three species) * ''Orothrips'' Moulton, 1907 (three species) * †''Palaeothrips'' Scudder, 1875 (one fossil species, ''P. fossilis'') * †''Permothrips'' Martynov, 1935 (one fossil species, ''P. longipennis'') * ''Rhipidothripiella'' Bagnall, 1932 (one species, ''R. turneri'') * ''Rhipidothripoides'' Bagnall, 1923 (two species) * ''Rhipidothrips'' Uzel, 1895 (six species) * ''Stomatothrips'' Hood, 1912 (eight species) * ''Streothrips'' Bhatti, 1971 (two species) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aeolothripidae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
