A new genus, Nexothrips, with two new species, N. delclaroi and N. perseae, is described from South America. The systematic position of this genus, and its relationships to the paleotropical Rhamphothrips genus-group, are discussed. A key is provided to the two new species, one of which was taken on Persea flowers in Colombia, the other from Hortia flowers in Brazil.
