“…The species found in Antalya differ from those in Florida (Childers and Nakahara, 2006), Australia (Blank and Gill, 1997) and New Zealand (Broughton and De Lima, 2002), but are similar to those found in other Mediterranean countries including Portugal. F. occidentalis, H. haemorrhoidalis, P. kellyanus, Thrips flavus Schrank, T. major, T. meridionalis and T. tabaci are among species commonly encountered on Mediterranean citrus (Conti et al, 2001(Conti et al, , 2003Kersting et al, 2005;Costa et al, 2006).…”

“…However, a host index of 3 or 4 times higher than the nearest citrus species suggests that mandarin and lemon are preferred as a host by T. angusticeps and P. kellyanus, respectively. Lemon was among the preferred hosts of P. kellyanus in New Zealand (Blank and Gill, 1997), also in Oeste region of Portugal (Costa et al, 2006). The absence or low incidence of P. kellyanus on mandarin both in the present study and in New Zealand (Blank and Gill, 1997), suggests non-preference by the thrips for this citrus species.…”

The only thrips that damage citrus fruit are those that feed on the developing fruits, just as, or soon after, the petals fall, not those that feed only on pollen and floral tissues.…”

Composition, distribution, abundance and pest status of thrips species associated with citrus flowers in Antalya, Turkey was investigated in 2006 and 2007. The survey revealed 36 thrips species. The most common and abundant species in descending order were: Thrips major Uzel, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande), T. tabaci Lindeman, T. meridionalis (Priesner), T. angusticeps Uzel and Pezothrips kellyanus (Bagnall) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae). The thrips fauna was predominated by T. major being found in 84% of the samples and constituting 51% of the specimens. F. occidentalis was the second most common and abundant species which was present in 55% of the samples and representing 22% of the specimens. The other four major species were detected in 12-28% of the samples and had a share of 4-6% in the total number of specimens. Average number of thrips per flower ranged between 0.26 and 0.55 depending on the citrus species. Proportion of scarred fruits ranged between 0.8 to 2.4%. Only P. kellyanus is known as a citrus pest and currently is less common and abundant than in those countries where it causes crop losses. These findings in Turkey do not provide any clear evidence concerning the country of origin of P. kellyanus.

“…On the infested areas where colonics develop many small black dots can be seen. These are the droplets of black liquid which fall off the tip of larvae abdomen (Bodenheimer, 1951;Blank and Gill, 1997;Faberand Phillips, 1998;Denmark, 1999).…”

Leaf Preference of Heliothrips hαemorrhoidαlis (Thysonoptera: Thripidae) on Vιburnum tinus

The leaf preference of larvae, pupae and adults of Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis (Buche) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), a serious pest of several ornamental plants, were studied on Viburnum tinus. Leaves were sampled for thrips from the base, middle and distal end of viburnum twigs at weekly intervals from April 11 to September 15, 2000. The population of this thrips was observed at high levels of between 10 to 76 thrips per leaf, till the middle of June when it sharply declined to zero, probably due to high temperatures. Higher populations developed on the basal than on the middle leaves. The lowest populations were recorded on the distal leaves. The predator Onus vicinus (Ribaut) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) was recorded in low numbers and therefore its effect on thrips populations was considered negligible.

“…It became a pest in New Zealand (Blank & Gill 1997) and southern Australia (Mound & Jackman 1998) during the 1990s. In the Mediterranean Region, the first damage caused by P. kellyanus was recorded a few years later, and now this thrips is considered a pest in Greece (Varikou et al 2010), Cyprus (Vassiliou 2007), Sicily (Italy) (Marullo 1998;Conti et al 2003), and Spain (Navarro-Campos et al 2012a).…”

The developmental time, fecundity, and longevity of Pezothrips kellyanus (Bagnall) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) encaged on lemon, Citrus limon (L.) Burm.f., leaves supplied with different food sources (pollen, sucrose, and honey) were compared at 25°C. Only the addition of pollen offered a nutritional benefit for this thrips species. Pollen to the lemon leaf reduced total developmental time from egg to adult from 12.42 to 9.68 d, increased survival from 22.6 to 80.6%, and increased fecundity. When sugar was offered, only 10% of larvae survived. P. kellyanus larvae were unable to grow on lemon leaves as well as when honey was supplied to the leaves (recorded survival was 22.6 and 42.86%, respectively), and adult females were slightly able to reproduce (1.4 and 4.2 larvae per female, respectively). Pollen and honey supplements fed to adults double and triple adult longevity, respectively.
