Abstract

The New Zealand flower thrips, Thrips obscuratus (Crawford) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), is an endemic flower-inhabiting species and was found on at least 225 endemic and introduced plant species. Larvae were taken from 51 species indicating these species were suitable as breeding hosts. Adults were found mostly on flowers, but were also common on leaves and fruit. All larvae were on flowers except for 2 records from the fruit of stonefruit.
