The study reveals diagnosis peculiarities for main Thrips spp. occurring during phytosanitary testing. Morphological diagnostic methods were compared with PCR-RFLP and direct sequencing. High reliability of molecular and genetic methods has been shown. These methods provide for determining the species of thrips larvae and damaged specimens of imagoes.
