The genus Melanthrips is the largest among genera of Melanthripidae , encompassing 36 species worldwide (ThripsWiki 2023), mostly from the Palearctic countries ( Pereyra & Mound 2009). The genus can be differentiated from the other three genera of the family by: anterior margin of head transverse, without any inter antennal projection; antennal segments I and II symmetrical; apex of fore tibia with exceptionally broad, stout, spur-like setae which are not found in the other three genera.
