The genus Frankliniella is distinguished from other genera in the Thripidae by having eight (seven in rare occasions) antennal segments with forked sensory cones on segments three and four. The head with three pairs of ocellar setae. The pronotum with one pair of long anteroangular setae, two pairs of long posteroangular setae and five pairs of shorter setae on the posterior margin (Sakimura and O’Neill 1979). The mesonotum lacks discal setae (Mound and Nakahara 1993). The forewings with some exceptions are fully developed with two continuous evenly spaced longitudinal rows of setae. The lateral margins of abdominal tergites V–VIII and occasionally as far forward as tergite III with ctenidia. The ctenidia of tergite VIII are always present anterolateral of the spiracles (Sakimura and O’Neill 1979). The abdominal sternites III–VII do not have discal setae and the three major pairs of setae on sternite VII arise near or on the posterior margin (Mound and Nakahara 1993).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AD3887D7FFF7A14FFF2F04F8715CFA31	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species, commonly known as the western flower thrips (WFT) was the most frequently intercepted Frankliniella at US ports of entry from 1985 until 2021. Molecular evidence by Rugman-Jones et al. (2010) suggested F. occidentalis consists of two sympatric, morphologically identical species. The authors designated the two molecularly divergent groups as WFT lupin (WFTL) and WFT greenhouse (WFTG). More recently Gunawardana et al. (2017) reported that some Frankliniella have microtrichia on the upper surface of the hind coxae. I subsequently examined some of the Rugman-Jones et al. (2010) DNA voucher specimens and discovered that from the provided female specimens those with the molecular haplotypes L and R from the WFTL group, Rugman-Jones et al. (2010), possess microtrichia on the upper hind coxae. Additionally, these specimens vary in shading, from pale to dark, and the B1 setae on abdominal tergite IX are less than 100 µm.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AD3887D7FFC7A17FFF2F009470CDFBDE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(2017) indicated that the migration and systems of exchange by archaic peoples contributed to the spread of maize throughout the Americas and the Caribbean.
