Thysanoptera of Great Britain: A revised and updated checklist

Plant Pests and Diseases Programme, The Food and Environment Research Agency, Sand Hutton, York, YO41 1LZ, UK
Thysanoptera Great Britain checklist non-established incursions quarantine interceptions

Abstract

An annotated list is presented of 176 species of the Order Thysanoptera that have been recorded from Great Britain; of these, 19 species are known only as non-established incursions (isolated populations, usually in glasshouses, known only to have survived for a short time). A list of a further 52 non-native species that have been found by the plant health authorities of England and Wales during quarantine inspections on imported plant material is also presented.
