The Hoplothripini was defined by Priesner (1960) as a group of phlaeothripid thrips with wings usually even in width or narrowed towards the middle and then parallel-sided, rarely expanded towards the end, and with reticulation rarely present. This was explicitly intended as a residual assemblage of genera lacking the characters of more distinctive tribes within Phlaeothripinae; as such, it is almost certainly not monophyletic. Nevertheless, the core of this assemblage may correspond to the Liothrips lineage of leaf-feeding thrips which usually have one sense cone on antennal segment III and three on segment IV, undeveloped pronotal basantra, and parallel-sided fore wings (Mound & Marullo 1996).
Characters (from Priesner 1960): Wings usually even in width or narrowed towards the middle and then parallel-sided, rarely expanded towards the end. Reticulation rarely present.
