Abstract
Our study reports 119 thrips species of 74 genera from Keibul Lamjao National Park (KLNP), Manipur. Out of 119 species collected during the study, 48 are endemic to India, and 22 are recorded for the first time from Manipur. Mycterothrips auratus Wang (1999), earlier known from China and Taiwan, has been collected for the first time from India.References
