The subfamily Panchaetothripinae has been consistently recovered as a monophyletic group within Thripidae, comprising 144 species in 43 genera. Usually associated with plant leaves, 21 species from 12 genera have previously been recorded in Brazil, several being pests of a wide range of cultivated plants. Here we record four species as new to Brazil, Bradinothrips williamsi, Caliothrips nanus, C. punctipennis and Parthenothrips dracaenae. Moreover, Caliothrips cangaceiro sp. n. is described, Hoodothripiella ignacio is considered a new synonym of Elixothrips brevisetis, and Caliothrips marginipennis is a new synonym of C. punctipennis. Furthermore, the previously unknown males of B. williamsi and Hoodothrips constrictus are described. Caliothrips fasciatus is withdrawn from the Brazilian Thysanoptera list of species. Illustrated keys to adults of species recorded in Brazil are provided, together with notes on biology and brief descriptions. Parthenothrips kobusi Deventer, known only from Java, is not a member of the Panchaetothripinae and is reclassified as Bolacothrips kobusi (Deventer) comb. n.
扁蓟马亚科一直被认为是蓟马科内的一个单系类群，包含43个属的144个物种。该亚科通常与植物叶片有关，此前在巴西已记录到来自12个属的21个物种，其中一些是多种栽培植物的害虫。在此，我们记录了4个巴西新物种，即威廉氏短蓟马、矮小蓟马、点翅蓟马和龙血树寡鬃蓟马。此外，还描述了新物种坎加塞罗蓟马，伊格纳西奥胡德蓟马被认为是短鬃艾氏蓟马的新同物异名，缘翅蓟马是点翅蓟马的新同物异名。此外，还描述了此前未知的威廉氏短蓟马和缢缩胡德蓟马的雄性。条纹蓟马被从巴西缨翅目物种名单中移除。提供了巴西记录物种成虫的图解检索表，以及生物学笔记和简要描述。仅在爪哇发现的德温特科布斯寡鬃蓟马不属于扁蓟马亚科，被重新分类为科布斯博拉蓟马（新组合）。
