Abstract
This thrips was described by Bouché in 1833 from specimens taken from a greenhouse in Europe as Thrips haemorrhoidalis. Packard described this species for the first time from this country in 1870 and called it the greenhouse thrips. This thrips appears in the Common Names of Insects approved by the Entomological Society of America as the greenhouse thrips, Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis (Bouché).
