Panchaetothripinae
Panchaetothripinae is a subfamily of thrips within Thripidae, first described by Bagnall in 1912. It comprises approximately 144 species across 43 genera globally, though earlier estimates cited 11 genera and more than 50 species. Members are predominantly associated with plant leaves and include several economically significant pest species. The subfamily has been consistently recovered as monophyletic in phylogenetic analyses. Notable genera include Heliothrips, Caliothrips, Selenothrips, and Hercinothrips, with species distributed across tropical and subtropical regions worldwide.
