The genus Mycterothrips, with 36 species worldwide, is primarily Holarctic, but with several species occurring in the Old World tropics including Australia and Africa (ThripsWiki 2019). The species apparently all feed and breed on leaves, although adults can disperse widely onto many plants. An identification key to 27 species was provided (Masumoto Okajima 2006), but seven further species were subsequently described from Iran (Mirab-balou et al. 2011; Alavi et al. 2013; Minaei et al. 2017) and a key for distinguishing nine species from this country was presented by Alavi et al. (2013). Recently two further new species were described from tea plants together with a key for 10 species in China (Li et al. 2017).
蓟马属在全球有36个物种，主要分布于全北区，但在包括澳大利亚和非洲在内的旧世界热带地区也有一些物种（蓟马维基，2019年）。这些物种显然都在叶片上取食和繁殖，尽管成虫可以广泛扩散到许多植物上。有人提供了一份27个物种的鉴定检索表（正本冈岛，2006年），但后来又从伊朗描述了另外7个物种（米拉卜 - 巴卢等人，2011年；阿拉维等人，2013年；米奈伊等人，2017年），阿拉维等人（2013年）还给出了一份区分该国9个物种的检索表。最近，又从茶树中描述了另外两个新物种以及一份中国10个物种的检索表（李等人，2017年）。
