These families are currently (2006) recognized:* Suborder Terebrantia:* Adiheterothripidae Shumsher, 1946 (11 genera):* Aeolothripidae Uzel, 1895 (29 genera) – banded thrips and broad-winged thrips:* Fauriellidae Priesner, 1949 (four genera):* †Hemithripidae Bagnall, 1923 (one fossil genus, "Hemithrips" with 15 species):* Heterothripidae Bagnall, 1912 (seven genera):* † Jezzinothripidae zur Strassen, 1973 (included by some authors in Merothripidae):* †Karataothripidae Sharov, 1972 (one fossil species, "Karataothrips jurassicus"):* Melanthripidae Bagnall, 1913 (six genera):* Merothripidae Hood, 1914 (five genera) – large-legged thrips:* † Scudderothripidae zur Strassen, 1973 (included by some authors in Stenurothripidae):* Thripidae Stevens, 1829 (292 genera in four subfamilies) – common thrips:* † Triassothripidae Grimaldi & Shmakov, 2004 (two fossil genera):* Uzelothripidae Hood, 1952 (one species, "Uzelothrips scabrosus")* Suborder Tubulifera:* Phlaeothripidae (447 genera in two subfamilies)== Ecology =====Natural history===Thrips are believed to have descended from a mycetophilic ancestor during the Mesozoic, and many groups still feed upon and inadvertently redistribute fungal spores, but most research has focused on those species feeding on or in association with economically significant crops.
