Species of Lissothrips and Williamsiella live in association with mosses and lichens. Their gut contents are commonly blue-green, suggesting that they possibly feed on blue-green algae. Three species of Lissothrips are known from New Zealand, of which two are here recorded from Australia together with six new species. Williamsiella is recorded from Australia for the first time, with one new species.
扁蓟马属（Lissothrips）和威廉蓟马属（Williamsiella）的物种与苔藓和地衣共生。它们的肠道内容物通常呈蓝绿色，这表明它们可能以蓝绿藻为食。已知新西兰有三种扁蓟马，其中两种在澳大利亚有记录，同时还有六个新物种。威廉蓟马属首次在澳大利亚被记录，有一个新物种。
