This thrips is newly recorded from Brazil, although the identification is based on the original description and comments in Mound and Marullo (1996). Originally described from Haiti, the ring on the pedicel in this species is larger than in any other described Frankliniellla. Specimens identified as musaeperda have been studied from several sites from Paraná to Minas Gerais.

NEW RECORD. Brazil: Minas Gerais, Juiz de Fora, 5 females on Lippia sp. flowers, 11.xii.2011 (A. Cavalleri); Uberlândia, 2 females, 3 males on Hancornia speciosa, 2007 (E.A.
