The present study was undertaken to determine distribution of thrips species from major tomato growing regions in South India (Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh). The thrips species were identified using molecular techniques employing universal barcoding primer (mt-COI). These revealed the presence of six species viz., Thrips palmi Karny, Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood, Thrips tabaci Lindeman, Frankliniella schultzei (Trybom), Thrips apicatus Priesner and Tusothrips sumatrensis (Karny). Of these, T. palmi was found to be predominant in all the states surveyed followed by S. dorsalis, F. schultzei and T. tabaci.
