“…However, no such clear confirmation is available for the presumed predation by the following species: K. longiceps, K. melaleucus, K. merrilli and K. nevadensis, although they are reported to be associated with scale insects or with mites and predation seems probable. 24,33 For predation by other members of the genus Karnyothrips, there is little or no observational support. Likewise, the species of Xylaplothrips have been considered predators 5 Thripidae is an obligate predator that is known to feed on mites in New Zealand and also on the larvae of Sericothrips staphylinus in Tasmania.…”

Some species of thrips have evolved predatory behaviours, with their reported prey range including thrips, mites, scale-insects, whitefly, psyllid nymphs, and eggs of moths and beetles. However, our current understanding of the biology and potential of these thrips as biological control agents is insufficient, limiting our understanding of their role in pest management. This paper assesses published information on the diversity of predatory thrips and the available biological data on their diet breadth. About 100 species within three different families -Aeolothripidae, Phlaeothripidae and Thripidaeseem likely to be predatory, although some conclusions are speculative. Both facultative and obligate predators can be found among the species with prey records. Obligate predators feed primarily on arthropod tissues, whereas facultative predators consume plant tissues in addition to prey. Quantitative information regarding developmental biology, longevity and fecundity, was obtained for only 11 species. Obligate predators, particularly members of Scolothrips and Franklinothrips, are efficient biological control agents. To better augment the use of predatory thrips in pest management, further increased investment in mass rearing, life history and ecological studies, including interactions with other organisms and their habitat, are needed on these natural enemies.
