Males possess more or less sclerotised genitalia (e. g., phallus, endotheca, and aedeagus), and sometimes pheromone-producing glandular areas on abdominal sternites called pore plates (Fig. 2 C). Adult Thripidae typically display narrow wings with marginal fringes, distinctive wing veins, and antennae that frequently exceed the body width.</p><p>Notes.</p><p>Globally, the family Thripidae encompasses more than 2,000 described species (Mound et al. 2018), many known as significant agricultural pests, capable of transmitting plant viruses and causing direct feeding damage. Sweden hosts a subset of this diverse family, with numerous species adapted to the colder, northern climate. Thripidae species in Sweden exhibit diverse ecological niches, ranging from specialists found in floral habitats to more generalised species inhabiting agricultural and forest environments.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/4B888140368A5D03B327D74D4A3BFBF8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
