The western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), is native to Western North America, where it has long been a crop pest (Bailey 1940), and has become a global invasive pest in the last 30 years (Kirk 2002).

“…Invading species exact both an ecological price, by reducing local biodiversity, and an economic price, by damaging crop systems (Vitousek et al 1996).

The western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), is an invasive species and currently occurs in only a few areas in China. An easy, accurate and developmental‐stage independent method to identify F. occidentalis would be a valuable tool to facilitate pest management decision making and, more importantly, to provide an early warning so actions can be taken to prevent its introduction into non‐infested areas. Morphological identification of thrips adults and, to a lesser extent, of second‐stage larvae is the main method currently available to identify F. occidentalis. Molecular identification, however, can be easily carried out by a non‐thrips‐specialist with a little training. In this study, DNA sequence data [within the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene (COI)] and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were utilized to develop a molecular diagnostic marker for F. occidentalis. A primer set and PCR cycling parameters were designed for the amplification of a single marker fragment (340 bp) of F. occidentalis COI mtDNA. Specificity tests performed on 28 thrips species, efficacy tests performed on five immature developmental stages as well as on male and female adults and tests on primer sensitivity all demonstrated the diagnostic utility of this marker. Furthermore, the primer set was tested on seventeen F. occidentalis populations from different countries and invaded areas in China and proved to be applicable for all geographic populations. It was used successfully to clarify the distribution of F. occidentalis in the Beijing metro area. These results suggested that this diagnostic PCR assay provides a quick, simple and reliable molecular technique for the identification of F. occidentalis.

An illustrated identification system is presented to 99 species and 49 genera in three families recorded from the Hawaiian Islands in the Thysanoptera suborder Terebrantia. Only seven (possibly eight) of these species are considered endemic, the remainder being adventive to these islands. The only previous study of Hawaiian Thysanoptera, by Zimmerman in 1948, included 47 Terebrantia species in 21 genera.

“…Frankliniella occidentalis is native to the western North America, where it has caused heavy damage to the ornamental industry as early as the 1940s (Bailey 1940). Since the late 1970s, international agricultural trade flows have increased very rapidly, and F. occidentalis has arrived and established in many countries to become a cosmopolitan pest.…”
