The first report of Thrips praetermissus (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) from Iran

گونة Thrips praetermissus Priesner براي نخستين بار از ايران گزارش مي­شود. نمونه ­هاي اين گونه از روي گل­ هاي قاصد در منطقة باجگاه، شيراز، استان فارس جمع­ آوري شدند. ويژگي­ هاي ريختي همراه با شكل­هاي مربوطه ارايه شده ­اند. اين گونه شباهت زيادي با گونه Thrips pillichi Priesner دارد، اما با وجود موهاي بلند روي پيش­ گُرده و ترژيت بند نهم از آن جدا مي­شود.

In an online updated site (ThripsWiki, 2018) only 10 genera of the order Thysanoptera have more than 100 species of which the genus Thrips L. with 294 extant species is the largest one. Minaei et al., (2007) provided an information on four genera of Thrips genus-group in Iran. An illustrated key to 33 species of the genus has recently been prepared by Mirab-balou (2016a). A total of 34 species of the genus Thrips have hitherto been recorded from Iran (Mirab-balou, 2016b) and another species of the genus is here newly recorded and illustrated. Thrips specimens discussed in this paper were macerated in 5% NaOH solution for 4-5 hours. The specimens were then mounted onto slides in Hoyer’s medium using the protocol described by Mound and Kibby (1998). The observations on structure were made using an Olympus BX51 phase-contrast microscope. Photomicrographs and measurements were made using this microscope with DP27 digital camera and cellSens software. Terminology follows that of Mound and Masumoto (2005). The slides are deposited in the Department of Plant Protection, College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran.
