Abstract
Among the oldest species of thrips known from North America is the six-spotted thrips, Scolothrips sexmaculatus (Perg.). As early as 1882 Pergande recognized this thrips as predacious on red spiders. Quayle (1912) reported some of the first biological observations and illustrated the adult. Numerous entomologists since have called attention to its predacious habits, and its known distribution and host list have grown slowly. Its life history, however, has remained unknown.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
