Schlechtendalia was a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae. [2]
Fossils are only found in Baltic amber, (Konigsberg collection). [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.
The Phlaeothripinae are a subfamily of thrips, with hundreds of genera.
The western flower thrips [Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande)] is an invasive pest insect in agriculture. This species of thrips is native to the Southwestern United States but has spread to other continents, including Europe, Australia, and South America via transport of infested plant material.
Orthotospovirus is a genus of negative-strand RNA viruses, in the family Tospoviridae of the order Bunyavirales, which infects plants. Tospoviruses take their name from the species Tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus (TSWV) which was discovered in Australia in 1919. TSWV remained the only known member of the family until the early 1990s when genetic characterisation of plant viruses became more common. There are now at least twenty species in the genus with more being discovered on a regular basis. Member viruses infect over eight hundred plant species from 82 different families.
Schlechtendalia is a genus of South American plants in the tribe Barnadesieae within the family Asteraceae. It is known in Portuguese as bolão de ouro, meaning "gold bullion". It is a perennial herbaceous plant, with rigid, linear leaves with a pointy tip. The corollas of the florets are yellow, and of the subbilobiate type, with four lobes merged into a strap, but split into teeth over half as deep, and one lobe free. This species flowers from September to December and the fruits are ripe in January or February. The only known species is Schlechtendalia luzulifolia, native to southern Brazil, Uruguay, northern Argentina. This species has sixteen chromosomes (2n=16).
Schlechtendalia chinensis, the Chinese sumac aphid, is an aphid species, and the only species in the genus Schlechtendalia.
Kladothrips is a genus of Australian gall thrips. It is notable for including some of the few organisms outside of Hymenoptera that exhibit eusociality.
Schlechtendalia is the scientific name for a genus of organisms and may refer to:
Androthrips is a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae, first described by Heinrich Hugo Karny in 1911.
Arrhenothrips is a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae.
Brakothrips is a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae, first described by Crespi, Morris and Mound in 2004. The type species is Brakothrips gillesi. Insects in this genus are found only in Australia, living under the splitting bark of young branches of Acacias.
Cephenothrips was a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae.
Chirothripoides is a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae.
Neothrips is a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae. According to Kirk and Terry (2003), Neothrips fasciatus, also known as the greenhouse thrips, is a major pest of greenhouse crops worldwide, causing damage to leaves, flowers, and fruits, and transmitting plant viruses. Similarly, Mound and Tree (2016) reported the discovery of a new species within the genus, Neothrips quasimodo, in Australia.
Parabaphothrips is a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae, first described by Dudley Moulton in 1949. There is just one species in this genus: Parabaphothrips coffeae found in Africa.
Proleeuwenia was a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae.
Rhopalothripoides is a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae.
Sucinothrips was a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae.
Thlibothrips is a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae.
Xaniothrips is a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae, which was first described by Laurence Mound in 1971. The type species is Xaniothrips xantes.
