Mound and Marullo (1996)
, who also provided notes on the variation in structural details between and within the 17 species that are currently listed worldwide (ThripsWiki 2015). Of these species 12 are known only from the Americas, mainly the Neotropics, one is from
Fiji
, one from
Japan
, and three from
