The EFSA Panel on Plant Health (PLH) performed a pest categorisation of Thrips palmi (Thysanoptera:
Thripidae), for the EU. T. palmi is listed in Annex IAI of 2000/29 EC. Using molecular methods, cryptic
speciation has been shown although no new species from the group have been formally described. Here,
we consider T. palmi sensu lato as a defined species native to southern Asia, which has spread to tropical
and subtropical countries in Asia, the Pacific, North, Central and South America, Africa and Australia.
T. palmi has been reported from many different hosts in 20 botanical families; Cucurbitaceae, Solanaceae
and Orchidaceae are of primary importance. T. palmi has been intercepted many times on plants from
these families. Wild and cultivated hosts are widespread in the EU. However, as a subtropical and tropical
species, only a small area of the EU provides climatic conditions where establishment may be possible
outdoors. Several host plants are cultivated in glasshouses where conditions may be more favourable for
establishment in year-round crops. There have been past outbreaks of T. palmi in EU glasshouses and
outdoors in Portugal. T. palmi causes feeding and oviposition damage and populations in Asia are
competent vectors of tospoviruses. Impacts could occur on many hosts, especially Cucurbitaceae,
Solanaceae and ornamental plants particularly in glasshouses. Phytosanitary measures aim to prevent
the entry of T. palmi specifically on cut flowers of Orchidaceae and fruits of Momordica and Solanum
melongena. The species meets all the criteria assessed by the PLH Panel to satisfy the definition of a
Union quarantine pest, while it does not satisfy all the criteria for it to be regarded as a Union regulated
non-quarantine pest (RNQP) [-]
