Problems are discussed in evaluating character state variation in the insect order Thysanoptera, particularly in the family Phlaeothripidae, illustrated by two such problems in the genus Haplothrips Amyot & Serville. The synonymy of Jironiella Retana-Salazar & Soto-Rodriguez with Haplothrips is reconfirmed, and Haplothrips aliakbarii Mirab-balou & Miri is recognised as a new synonym of H. globiceps Bagnall.
