Checklist of the suborder Terebrantia (Thysanoptera): generic diversity and species composition in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, China

Thysanoptera is amongst the most predominant orders of insects in different ecological zones with worldwide distribution. Due to their small size, there is a large gap in their distribution and host range data. To the best of our knowledge, there is no investigation on the thrips distribution and their host range in Xishuangbanna. Currently, a total of 566 species in 155 genera are listed in China, of which 313 species represent Terebrantia.In this study, a list of 116 species representing 55 genera within the families Aeolothripidae and Thripidae is provided. Two of these, Dichromomothrips nakahari Moud, 1976 (subfamily Thripinae) and Phibalothrips rugosus Kudo, 1979 (subfamily Panchaetothripinae) are recorded for the first time in China. Thrips species with their host ranges, habits and habitats are provided. Our study aims to contribute to the global biodiversity distribution data-gap of Thysanoptera for conservation purposes, as well as pest species targetting Integrated Pest Management tactics.

蜻蜓目昆虫在全球不同生态区域内广泛分布，是其中最为显著的目之一。鉴于其体型之小，其在分布范围与宿主种类方面的数据存在较大空白。据我们所知，至今尚未有关于西双版纳地区蜻蜓分布及其宿主范围的调查。截至目前，我国已记录的蜻蜓种类共计566种，隶属于155个属，其中313种属于钻蛀亚目。在本研究中，我们提供了隶属于旋ipsidae和Thripidae科的55个属中的116个种类的清单。其中，Dichromomothrips nakahari Moud, 1976（Thripinae亚科）和Phibalothrips rugosus Kudo, 1979（Panchaetothripinae亚科）两种蜻蜓为我国首次记录。本研究提供了蜻蜓种类及其宿主范围、习性及栖息地的详细信息。本研究旨在填补蜻蜓目昆虫在全球生物多样性分布数据中的空白，为保护目的以及针对害虫的综合防治策略提供支持。
