The variation in the morphological characters namely, antennae (seven\u2010segmented with forked sensorium on third, fourth segments), ctenidia (paired ctenidia were present in 5<jats:sup>th<\/jats:sup>\u20138<jats:sup>th<\/jats:sup> abdominal segments laterally), pronotum (two pairs of posteroangular setae) were observed in both <jats:italic>Thrips tabaci<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Thrips parvispinus<\/jats:italic>, respectively. Similarly, ocelli color (brown and red colored), ocellar setae (two and three pairs of ocellar setae on the head of <jats:italic>T. tabaci<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>T. parvispinus<\/jats:italic>, respectively. Irregular reticulate striations on metascutum and medial striations are present in the metanotum of <jats:italic>T. parvispinus<\/jats:italic>; forewings with 6 distal setae in the first vein and 15 distal setae in the second vein in <jats:italic>T. tabaci<\/jats:italic> and forewings of <jats:italic>T. parvispinus<\/jats:italic> with complete rows of setae in the first and second vein in <jats:italic>T. parvispinus<\/jats:italic>; abdomen with median dorsal setae present in the tergite of <jats:italic>T. tabaci<\/jats:italic> and presence of 6\u201312 discal setae in sternites III\u2013VI segments, absence of discal setae on sternites II and VII in <jats:italic>T. parvispinus<\/jats:italic> were observed, respectively. Further, FE\u2010SEM studies revealed that similar type of sensilla namely, sensilla basiconica (SBI, SBII, SBIII), sensilla chaetica (SChI, SChII), sensilla trichodea (ST), sensilla campaniformia (SCa), and sensilla cavity (SCav) were recorded in both the species and variations were observed in length of above sensilla of <jats:italic>T. tabaci<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>T. parvispinus<\/jats:italic>. Additionally, Bohm bristles (Bb) and microtrichia (Mt) on the antennal surface contributed to a comprehensive understanding of their ultrastructural features. The molecular characterization revealed a single ~450\u2009bp nucleotide fragment with over 98% similarity for the confirmation of <jats:italic>T. tabaci<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>T. parvispinus<\/jats:italic> in concurrence with NCBI data.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Research Highlights<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Microscopy\u2010based morphological and ultrastructural characterization of <jats:italic>Thrips tabaci<\/jats:italic> Lindeman and <jats:italic>Thrips parvispinus<\/jats:italic> Karny.<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<\/jats:list><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/jemt.24653","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,9]],"date-time":"2024-08-09T02:36:27Z","timestamp":1723170987000},"page":"3003-3015","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Unveiling thrips morphology: A comparative analysis of microscopy\u2010based ultrastructural, morphological, and molecular characterization of <i>Thrips tabaci<\/i> and <i>Thrips parvispinus<\/i> in onion"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"87","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3649-9539","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arunkumar","family":"Pandi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural Entomology Tamil Nadu Agricultural University  Coimbatore India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3439-9254","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kannan","family":"Malaichamy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural Entomology Tamil Nadu Agricultural University  Coimbatore India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kennedy","family":"John Samuel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural Entomology Tamil Nadu Agricultural University  Coimbatore India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dineshkumar","family":"Selvaraj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural Entomology Tamil Nadu Agricultural University  Coimbatore India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9687-2174","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Govindaraju","family":"Kasivelu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Ocean Research Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology  Chennai India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1528-4996","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elango","family":"Kolanthasamy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kumaraguru Institute of Agriculture  Erode India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.9734\/aprj\/2020\/v5i230105"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11033-023-08831-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0007485307005147"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/mpp.12177"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/HJH.0000000000001356"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ece3.3762"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1461-9563.2002.00132.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","unstructured":"Capinera J.
