“…Usually, thrips management is carried out by spraying synthetic insecticides regardless of the thrips density population [18]. In other agroecosystems, the use of colored sticky traps has been suggested for monitoring purposes to estimate thrips populations due to their low cost and rapid implementation [19][20][21].…”

The capture efficiency of six colored sticky traps (blue, green, orange, purple, white, and yellow) was tested in mango agroecosystems of Mexico with the purpose to: (i) document the diversity of Thysanoptera; (ii) determine the attraction of phytophagous thrips; (iii) assess the impact of these traps on beneficial insects; and (iv) assess the relationship between the density of Frankliniella thrips captured on traps and those found in the inflorescences. The use of colored sticky traps has revealed a great diversity of thrips and beneficial insects in the mango agroecosystem. A total of 16,441 thrips were caught on sticky traps throughout the sampling period, of which 16,251 (98.8%) were thrips adults and 190 (1.2%) larvae. Forty one species of thrips were collected either from sticky traps or from inflorescences. Of these, 32 species feed either on leaves or flowers. Frankliniella cephalica, F. gardeniae and F. invasor, were the most abundant species. Scirtothrips citri and S. manihoti were also captured among other phytophagous thrips. The white trap captured significantly more Frankliniella species and also had the smallest capture of beneficial insects. Yellow traps were the most attractive for Scirtothrips species, with low detrimental effects on insect pollinators, although high impact on natural enemies. Thrips species captured on sticky traps showed a low and non-significantly correlation with respect to the density of thrips in mango inflorescences. Although sticky traps did not predict the density of Frankliniella populations in mango inflorescences, the study represents a substantial progress in the use of color traps in mango agroecosystems. Colored sticky traps would be a good option for monitoring mango thrips to detect them at earlier stages of infestation to implement management tactics and avoid the building-up of thrips populations.

Until mid-1990s, Heliothrips was considered a genus without major identification problems, with only H. haemorrhoidalis spread worldwide. More recently, concerns have arisen regarding misidentifications of this pest species around the world, particularly with the description of H. longisensibilis from China and the subsequent records from Argentina and Brazil. Here we consider that species as a new synonym of H. angustior stat. rev., and records of this species under the name H. haemorrhoidalis from the Neotropics (and also India and Thailand) are rectified, whereas in the Nearctic region only H. haemorrhoidalis is present. Both species are widespread, and morphological variations suggest other cryptic species may occur. Heliothrips flamengo sp. n. is described from the Brazilian and Peruvian Amazon Rainforest, and an updated key to the five species of Heliothrips is provided.
