Echinothrips americanus is a species of thrips (the taxonomic order Thysanoptera) in the family Thripidae, the second largest order of Thysanoptera.[1][2] It is found in North America, Europe, and Asia.[3][4][5] E. americanus was first described in 1913 by entomologist A.C. Morgan in Quincy, Florida, where he found the insect on a Veratrum viride plant (common name green false-hellebore).[6][7] Suggested common names include Poinsettia thrips and Impatiens thrips.[7][8] Since their spread throughout Europe as early as 1995, and subsequently China, E. americanus has been called an "upcoming pest." [8]

Etymology

[edit]

Insects belonging to the order Thysanoptera were named thrips meaning "woodworm," by Carl Linnaeus. [9]

Physical appearance

[edit]

Thrips, including E. americanus, are usually no longer than 1mm. Individual E. americanus are generally brown or black.[6] A.C. Morgan provides a detailed description of several individuals in his publication declaring his discovery of the species.[6] Males are generally smaller, thinner, and lighter in colour than females.[6] Morgan described E. americanus as having a red hypodermal pigmentation. Thrips are known for their asymmetrical mouthparts that distinguish them from other orders.[9] They are also known for their fringed wings.

Distribution

[edit]

As its name suggests, E. americanus is native to the United States. E. americanus has been documented in the following countries: China, Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland[10], Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, Bermuda, Canada, Guadeloupe, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Australia.[3] An unconfirmed observation of E. americanus was made in Denmark.[3]

E. americanus has been recorded in 10 U.S. states (Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Missouri, New York, Tennessee, and Virginia) as well as the District of Columbia.[3]

E. americanus is known to occur in British Columbia as well as Ontario.[3]

Habitat

[edit]

E. americanus' are leaf dwelling thrips.[11]

Lifecycle and reproduction

[edit]

Most species of thrips have a haplo-diploid reproductive mode and reproduce via arrhenotoky (a form of parthenogenesis).[12] Kreuger et al. (2015) report a mean lifespan of 10 - 14 days.[13] As a species in the order Thysanoptera, E. americanus are hemimetabolous insects, meaning they undergo incomplete metamorphosis and have three distinct life stages: egg, nymph, and adult (also called imago). As a member of the suborder Terebrantia, E. americanus has two nymph instars as well as two pupal instars.[2] The mating pattern followed by E. americanus is called assortative mating and . E. americanus exhibit assortative mating by body size. [14]

[14][15][16][17][18]

Sex determination

[edit]

E. americanus reproduce via arrhenotoky, meaning fertilized eggs develop into females while unfertilized eggs develop into males.[12][14]

[13]

Human impact

[edit]

Many species of thrips are polyphagous and feed extensively on foliage of both crops and ornamental plants.[11]

Biological control
