Abstract
Parrellathrips ullmanae gen. et sp. nov. is described from California in th e Fauriellidae, a family previously known only from southern Europe and Sou th Africa. Heratyrhrips sauli gen. et sp. nov, is described from California in the Adiheterothripidae, a family known only from western USA and the Me diterranean and Indian areas. Cladistic analysis of character states in the se and related taxa indicates that the present family classification in the lower clades of the Thysanoptera is not strongly supported.
