Heterothripidae
The four extant genera recognised in this family are all from the New World, mainly the Neotropics. All but three of the species breed in flowers, often in the flowers of Malpighiaceae (Pereyra & Cavalleri, 2012), but the three species of Aulacothrips are all ectoparasites on various Homoptera. Bhatti (2006) recognised a new family, Aulacothripidae, for the genus Aulacothrips. If the fossil species listed are correctly associated, then the family had a wider distribution at an earlier period.
