A Review of Frankliniella Bruneri Watson and Description of F. Kelliae, N. SP. (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)
Abstract
Frankliniella bruneri Watson, 1925 was rediscovered for the first time in the past 55 years to be a valid species, and is rediagnosed. Frankliniella pseudotritici Priesner, 1932 and inornata Moulton, 1936 are newly found synonyms. Frankliniella kelliae, n. sp., mounted together with the type series of bruneri, has otherwise long been confused with another well known species, F. difficilis. Both F. bruneri and kelliae are widely spread and common general flower feeders in the Caribbean area.Downloads
