JOHANSEN, Roberto M.. The Mexican Frankliniella paricutinensis sp. nov. species assemblage, in the "Intonsa group" (Insecta, Thysanoptera: Thripidae). Acta Zool. Mex [online]. 2000, n.80, pp.1-49. ISSN 2448-8445.

Thirteen new species of Frankliniella in the "Intonsa group" from the Mexican Volcanic Range (one shared with the Sierra Madre Oriental), are described herein. Because all these species share characters of color and morphology, they integrate a specific assemblage. The probable morphologic relationships with the Mexican Frankliniella desertileonidum Watson species assemblage, and in a minor grade with the F. intonsa (Trybom) species assemblage, are analyzed and discussed, Illustrations of the head, antennae, thorax and abdomen of each species, are included.
