Helionothrips errans (Thysanoptera: Thripidae): A new threat to native orchids in Brazil
Florida Entomologist 98 (4), 1247-1249
Abstract: Helionothrips errans (Williams) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is reported for the first time in the Neotropics. This thrips breeds exclusively on Orchidaceae (Asparagales) leaves and has previously been found in Australia, USA, Europe, and southwestern Asia. We observed H. errans damaging the leaves of reintroduced Cattleya intermedia Graham ex Hook. plantlets, and attacked individuals showed reduction in the height of the aerial portion and in the average number of leaves per individual.
