Abstract

Background

Thysanoptera is amongst the most predominant orders of insects in different ecological zones with worldwide distribution. Due to their small size, there is a large gap in their distribution and host range data. To the best of our knowledge, there is no investigation on the thrips distribution and their host range in Xishuangbanna. Currently, a total of 566 species in 155 genera are listed in China, of which 313 species represent Terebrantia.

New information

In this study, a list of 116 species representing 55 genera within the families Aeolothripidae and Thripidae is provided. Two of these, Dichromomothripsnakahari Moud, 1976 (subfamily Thripinae) and Phibalothripsrugosus Kudo, 1979 (subfamily Panchaetothripinae) are recorded for the first time in China. Thrips species with their host ranges, habits and habitats are provided. Our study aims to contribute to the global biodiversity distribution data-gap of Thysanoptera for conservation purposes, as well as pest species targetting Integrated Pest Management tactics.

Keywords: thrips, host range, distribution, biodiversity, conservation

Introduction

Thysanoptera (commonly known as thrips) is a group of small insects with body length ranging from 0.5 to 5.0 mm (except for a few tropical species, which may reach 14 mm). They are characterised by piercing-sucking with the distinction of only one completed left mandible (Hunter and Ullman 1992). Thrips exhibit high potential of sexual or parthenogenetic reproduction with rapid growth (Ramakrishna and Margabandhu 1931, Ananthakrishnan 1969) and dwell in a great diversity of habitats. More than 50% are mycophagous with the remaining phytophagous and predators. Besides, a few species have been recorded to annoy or bite people and cause non-severe skin irritation (Borror 1998).

The world updated checklist of Thysanoptera is totalling about 6,337 extant species representing 786 genera (ThripsWiki 2020). In China, the basic taxonomic work on Thysanoptera comprises two checklists (Zhang and Tong 1993, Mirab-balou et al. 2011), of which about 100 species representing 40 genera were individually studied from Xishuangbanna. However, there is no checklist of Thysanoptera diversity and species composition have been conducted in Xishuangbanna which is the home of a unique evergreen Tropical Rainforest and Botanical Garden and the most biodiversity-rich place in Yunnan Province, harbouring much of the biodiversity of China (Liu et al. 2015). This study aims to investigate the diversity of suborder Terebrantia (Thysanoptera) and its hosts which are important for developing of sustainable biodiversity, conservation and Integrated Pest Management (IPM).

Materials and methods

Description of study areas

The study was conducted from May 2015 to August 2020 in three counties of Xishuangbanna Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China. This area is located on the tropical northern edge of the southern tip of the mountainous zone of about 80 hectares. The tropical rainforest is completely similar to the typical equatorial tropical rainforest in fauna and flora characteristics (Cao et al. 2006). The tropical climate with annual average temperature varies from 18 to 21°C, rainfall from 1,100 mm to 1,900 mm, elevation from 477 to 2,429 m a.s.l. and sunshine 1,700 to 2,300 hours and hosting over 301 plant families and 2110 genera (Zhu et al. 2015).

Sample collection

Natural forests, protected areas, agricultural fields, botanical gardens, degraded and disturbed habitats were accessed and thrips samples were collected (Fig. 1), following the methodology as described by Zhang et al. (2006). For soft plants or shrubs foliage or inflorescence exposed to easy damage, the handshaking technique was applied. A fine hairbrush was used to pick thrips from the white tray and transferred to 75% ethanol to be carried to the Laboratory of Insect Taxonomy, College of Plant Protection, Yunnan Agricultural University and frozen for further studies. Besides, the references of a few individuals species, previously studied from Xishuangbanna, were collected.

Permanent slides preparation

Adult thrips were mounted according to the standard slides preparation techniques (Zhang et al. 2006) and identified following the standard identification keys provided by Mound and Marullo (1996), Masumoto and Okajima (2006) and ThripsWiki (2020). Morphological characters were observed under a compound microscope Olympus BX 41. Photos of species were taken with a CCD Zeiss Microscope. Species distribution used thrips distribution information available (ThripsWiki 2020) and the Zoological Catalogue of Smithers et al. (1997).

Permanent slides were labelled with the site, host plant, date of sampling and collector’s name (left side); specimen ID, genus, species, sex and identified author’s name (right side). All slides were grouped by genus-species in boxes labelled with YAU5082020 (representing institutional code), Tt ((T) representing Thysanoptera and (t) Terebrantia in collection code), No. of slide ID Material is deposited in the Insect Taxonomy laboratory, Plant Protection College at Yunnan Agricultural University, Kunming, China. Some information on individual species was collected from previously-studied references.

Analysis

Surveyed plant families

During this survey, 48% of the plants surveyed were herbaceous (deciduous or evergreen plants), 38% shrubby (annuals or biennials plants), 13% woody (perennial plants) and 1% for others (fungi, rocks and mosses). Fabaceae, Poaceae and Asteraceae showed a high population, whereas Bryophytes (mosses) and Pteridophyta (ferns) showed the low population dynamics of thrips species.

Thysanoptera (suborder Terebrantia): species composition and distribution

A total of 116 species in 55 genera within the families Aeolothripidae and Thripidae were recorded. Thripidae is represented with 115 species, whereas Aelothripidae is represented with a single species. The genus Thrips is represented with 11 species and Trichromothrips with 10 species, both being the most commonly encountered taxa. Dichromomothripsnakahari Mound, 1976 (subfamily Thripinae) and Phibalothripsrugosus Kudo, 1979 (subfamily Panchaetothripinae) are newly recorded in China. A distribution map (Fig. 22) of Terebrantian (Thysanoptera) in Xishuangbanna is provided with supplementary material for details (Suppl. material 1).

Discussion

In this study, we found that Xishuangbanna shows the high thrips species composition with asymmetric geographical distribution as demonstrated in the world distribution of Thysanoptera (Mound and Marullo 1998) and (Mound 1983). Recorded species are representing 40.3% of the 313 species of the Terebrantian (Thysanoptera) in China. In addition, this place is the home of some rare genera and species, such as Araliacothrips Li, Li & Zhang, Filicopsothripspulcher Li, Yuan & Zhang, Amomothrips Bhatti and different predatory species of the family Aeolothripidae. Dichromomothripsnakahari Mound, 1976 (subfamily Thripinae), described from Indonesia (Mound 1976) and Phibalothripsrugosus Kudo, 1979 (subfamily Panchaetothripinae), described from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (ThripsWiki 2020), are newly-recorded species in Chinese fauna. Our results suggest that Xishuangbanna is the richest area in Thysanoptera species composition to be taken into consideration for biodiversity conservation. However, some species from the references were lacking sufficient information for the records and deposition to be the common challenge in the taxonomic study (Kuznetsova and Ivanova 2020) and suggest that detailed inventories on the specimens records and modernised open, readily accessible online or digitised data are required for sustainable taxonomic studies, as suggested by Specht et al. (2018). Besides, further investigations are suggested to explore the species diversity and variation within Thysanoptera ecosystem services provided in this area for sustainable biodiversity conservation.
