Kobro, S. & Rafoss, T. 2006: Identification of adult males and females of Hoplothrips species (Thysanoptera: Tubulifera) known from Norway, and some deductions on their life history. - Entomol. Fennica 17: 184-192.
The presence of multiple phenological forms has previously made adults of Hoplothrips species difficult to identify. We present a set of diagnostic metric characters by which the 8 species recorded from Norway can be recognised. Some biological interpretations are also given.
