The Phlaeothripinae are a subfamily of thrips, with hundreds of genera.
The Clidemia thrips Liothrips urichi , and the alligator weed thrips Amynothrips andersoni belong to this subfamily.
This list of genera in the subfamily Phlaeothripinae is complete according to the Thrips of the World Checklist (January 4, 2007).
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.
Talitha is an Aramaic phrase attributed to Jesus in the New Testament, relating to bringing a girl back to life.
The Clidemia thrips, Liothrips urichi, is a thrips species from Trinidad. It is used as a biological control agent to stop the spread of Clidemia hirta, an invasive plant species that does much damage in many tropical areas of the world.
The Idolothripinae are a subfamily of thrips, with about 82 genera.
Phlaeothripidae is a family of thrips with hundreds of genera. They are the only extant family of the suborder Tubulifera, alongside the extinct family Rohrthripidae and are themselves ordered into two subfamilies, the Idolothripinae with 80 genera, and the Phlaeothripinae with almost 400. Some 3,400 species are recognised in this family, and many are fungivores living in the tropics.
The Thripidae are the most speciose family of thrips, with over 290 genera representing just over two thousand species. They can be distinguished from other thrips by a saw-like ovipositor curving downwards, narrow wings with two veins, and antennae of six to ten antennomeres with stiletto-like forked sense cones on antennal segments III and IV.
Liothrips is a genus of thrips with almost 300 described species. They are ordered into three subgenera, Epiliothrips, Liothrips and Zopyrothrips.
Haplothrips is a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae. It is found worldwide and contains about 240 extant species.
Cephalothrips is a genus of thrips in the subfamily Phlaeothripinae.
Ablemothrips is a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae. It occurs in Asia, with two species recorded from Thailand and one species occurring in India, southern Japan, the Philippines, and Taiwan.
Agynaikothrips is a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae. It occurs in Asia, with one species known from Japan and the other from Taiwan.
Holothrips bunyai is a species of thrips in the Phlaeothripinae subfamily, first described in 2014 by Laurence Mound and Desley Tree, known only from the Bunya Mountains.
Holothrips circulus is a species of thrips in the Phlaeothripinae subfamily, first described in 2014 by Laurence Mound and Desley Tree, known only from its type locality, Springbrook, Queensland.

Holothrips lamingtoni is a species of thrips in the Phlaeothripinae subfamily, first described in 2014 by Laurence Mound and Desley Tree. This thrips is found in Tasmania, New South Wales and Queensland, and is endemic to Australia.
Holothrips australis is a species of thrips in the Phlaeothripinae subfamily, first described in 1974 by Laurence Mound as Adelothrips australis. This thrips is found in the Australian Capital Territory and South Australia.
Holothrips oceanicus is a species of thrips in the Phlaeothripinae subfamily, first described in 1987 by Shûji Okajima. This thrips is found in the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Queensland, and South Australia.
