Abstract:Flower visiting thrips are one component of pollinator insects and have important theoretical and practical values in plant pollination, biodiversity protection and sustainable use, pest control, and so on. However, there are few reports on the pollination of thrips in China and wrong practices regarding all flower visiting thrips as pest insects to exterminate. Based on previous field collecting, identification and classification studies of flower visiting thrips, we analyzed the literatures at home and abroad on taxonomy and pollination ecology of flower visiting thrips, summarized the current status on species diversity and the related research progress, elaborated the pollination mechanism from morphological traits, phylogeny, chemical ecology of pollinator-plant interaction system. The results provided knowledge for broadening the research areas of pollinator insects biodiversity and pollinator-plant coevolution. In the future, we should strengthen researches on assessing the dual roles of damage and pollination on flower visiting thrips, and measuring the effectiveness of pollination.
