Heterothripidae
The four extant genera recognised in this family are all from the New World, mainly the Neotropics, with all but three species breeding in flowers - the three in Aulacothrips are all ectoparasites on various Homoptera. If the fossil species listed are correctly associated, then the family must had had a wider distribution at one time.
