Aeolothripidae
More than 50% of the described species in this family are placed either in the Holarctic genus Aeolothrips or in the Australian genus Desmothrips, and most of these species live in flowers either as phytophages or possibly as facultative predators. In contrast more than 50% of the genera are restricted to tropical countries where the species seem likely to be obligate predators, some living high in the tree canopy but others at ground level (Mound et al., 2012). These genera are here interpreted as representing a single family, whereas Bhatti (2006) placed eight of these genera into seven separate families, as follows:
Cycadothripidae Mound, 1991:649 [for Cycadothrips]
Dactuliothripidae Moulton 1931:173 [for Dactuliothrips]
Euceratothripidae Bhatti, 2006:350 [for Euceratothrips]
Franklinothripidae Bagnall, 1926:170 [for Franklinothrips; Corynothripoides]
Indothripidae Bhatt, 1999:7 [for Indothrips]
Mymarothripidae Bagnall, 1928:306 [for Mymarothrips]
Orothripidae Bagnall, 1913:155 [for Orothrips]
