Echinothrips americanus is a species of thrips (the taxonomic order Thysanoptera) in the family Thripidae. It is found in North America, Europe, and Asia.[1][2][3][4] E. americanus was first described in 1913 by entomologist A.C. Morgan in Quincy, Florida, where he found the insect on a Veratrum viride plant (common name green false-hellebore).[5][6] Suggested common names include Poinsettia thrips and Impatiens thrips.[7][8] Since their spread throughout Europe as early as 1995, and subsequently China, E. americanus has been called an "upcoming pest."[8]
