Acanthothrips is a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae. [2] The majority of species in the genus occur in the New World. One species has a holarctic distribution and another species is limited to northern Europe. [1]
Thrips are minute, slender insects with fringed wings and unique asymmetrical mouthparts. Entomologists have described approximately 7,700 species. They fly only weakly and their feathery wings are unsuitable for conventional flight; instead, thrips exploit an unusual mechanism, clap and fling, to create lift using an unsteady circulation pattern with transient vortices near the wings.
