Species in the order Thysanoptera, or thrips, are often overlooked, perhaps because of their small size and hidden biology. Even though some thrips species are broadly distributed in northern Europe, records in Sweden are lacking. This is also the case for the species Rhipidothrips brunneus (Williams, 1913), here presented with the first record for Sweden. Thrips menyanthidis Bagnall, 1923 is a species associated with Menyanthes trifoliata L. and was previously only known from one locality in Dalarna, but is here recorded for the first time from Värmland.
