AbstractThe subfamily Panchaetothripinae, comprising 35 genera and 98 species, includes several pest species of which the most notorious is the greenhouse thrips, Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis. In an attempt to establish the sister-group of Heliothrips, the relationships of this genus to 31 of the other genera in the subfamily were examined cladistically, using 35 parsimony-informative morphological characters. The analysis indicated that there was no support for two of the three tribes into which this subfamily is customarily arranged, the Monilothripini and the Panchaetothripini, but weak support for the tribe Tryphactothripini. No clear sister-group relationship could be identified for the New World genus Heliothrips, although it grouped with three old world genera Australothrips, Retithrips and Rhipiphorothrips. It is concluded that a morphological data set is not capable of producing a robust phylogeny of the Panchaetothripinae, and that the subject requires re-examination using molecular data.

The leaf preference of larvae, pupae and adults of Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis (Buche) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), a serious pest of several ornamental plants, were studied on Viburnum tinus. Leaves were sampled for thrips from the base, middle and distal end of viburnum twigs at weekly intervals from April 11 to September 15, 2000. The population of this thrips was observed at high levels of between 10 to 76 thrips per leaf, till the middle of June when it sharply declined to zero, probably due to high temperatures. Higher populations developed on the basal than on the middle leaves. The lowest populations were recorded on the distal leaves. The predator Orius vicinus (Ribaut) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) was recorded in low numbers and therefore its effect on thrips populations was considered negligible.

AbstractThe males of Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis (Bouché) are very rare and the species is thelytokous. Mutation of genes controlling male characteristics will therefore not be subject to selection, and so structural variation in these males is of no taxonomic significance. It is concluded that haemorrhoidalis and ceylonicus Schmutz represent one species in which the females vary in size, sculpture and colour throughout the tropics.

Herbivore defence mechanisms are a costly diversion of resources away from growth and reproduction. Thus time-limited and tissue specific expression in critical plant parts is more efficient as defined by optimal defence theory. Surprisingly little is known about Rhododendron herbivore defence but it may be mediated by combined chemical and physical mechanisms. Rhododendron simsii Planch. survives cyclic infestations of a leaf-feeding thrips, Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis (Bouché), which severely damage mature leaves but avoid terminal young leaves suggesting specific, localised defence expression. We examined correlations between the distribution of thrips and feeding damage with density of trichomes and the concentration of the diterpenoid, grayanotoxin I, a compound implicated in but not previously reported to mediate invertebrate defence in Rhododendron. Our data show that as leaves matured the number of thrips and area of feeding damage increased as trichome density and grayanotoxin I concentration decreased, this inverse correlation suggesting trichomes and grayanotoxin I mediate defence in younger leaf tissue. Grayanotoxin I was tested against H. haemorrhoidalis and was toxic to immature life stages and repellent to the adult thrips, reducing numbers of first instars emerging on leaves when applied at ecologically relevant concentrations. This work demonstrates that the pattern of defensive traits in foliage of a species of Rhododendron is key to its ability to tolerate cyclic infestations of a generalist herbivore, effectively conserving vital tissues required for growth and reproduction.

This thrips was described by Bouché in 1833 from specimens taken from a greenhouse in Europe as Thrips haemorrhoidalis. Packard described this species for the first time from this country in 1870 and called it the greenhouse thrips. This thrips appears in the Common Names of Insects approved by the Entomological Society of America as the greenhouse thrips, Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis (Bouché). This document is EENY-075 (originally published as DPI Entomology Circular No. 64), one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

The greenhouse thrips, Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis (Bouché) is one of the most common and injurious insect pest of many plants in Puerto Rico. This is specially true during dry seasons and under special ecological conditions. Three new host plants were added to the existing list and the insect is briefly described. Four systemic insecticides were tested namely: Thimet, Systox, Bayer 23129, and Bayer 19639. Using three concentration levels of each chemical perfect control of the thrips was obtained for a period of 2 months, with exception of Bayer 23129 (1-800) which permitted reinfestation at the end of 1 month.
