Abstract
AbstractThe significance of morphological variation within the Thrips hawaiiensis (Morgan) species-group is examined. Multivariate analyses of four characters from 344 females and seven characters from 90 males show two distinct groups found throughout the Oriental, Pacific and American Regions, corresponding to T. hawaiiensis and T. florum Schmutz, and an intermediate group, exilicornis Hood, from Africa. The results are compared with previously published morphometric data concerning the separation of T. hawaiiensis and T. florum, and additional distinguishing characteristics are assessed. The distributions of the three forms as recognized in this study are summarized.
