Biology and Distribution

The leaf-feeding species of this genus are found worldwide. Several are pests of various crops (Mound & Palmer, 1981), although the widespread pest, Scirtothrips dorsalis, remains a taxonomic problem (Mound & Stiller, 2011). Moreover, the validity of many of the species described from Mexico (Johansen & Mojica-Guzman, 1999) is in doubt (Mound & zur Strassen, 2001; Hoddle et al, 2008).
