Caliothrips fasciatus (Pergande)

(Fig 80, 98)

This species, the Californian bean thrips, is native to North America (Mound et al. 2019) but was previously recorded in the States of Ceará, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul in several crops (Silva et al. 1968, Pinent et al. 2011). However, it has not proved possible to confirm these ientifications nor the presence of this species in Brazil, and so C. fasciatus is here excluded from the list of thrips from Brazil.
