One of the main difficulties in Thysanoptera studies in Brazil (as well as in other South American countries) is the lack of an accurate, complete and easily accessible database for researchers.
The number of species registered and described for Brazil has been continuously increasing, and an updated list of thrips fauna is essential for the scientific community and agencies related to the environment and agriculture.
These files are updated continuously and can be used freely.
