Abstract

Haplothrips zabolius sp. n. is described from two plant species, Cynodon dactylon (Poaceae) and Plantago lanceolata (Plantaginaceae) from the southeast of Iran. The new species is apparently close to some grass-living Haplothrips species: H. aculeatus (Fabricius), H. eragrostidis Priesner and H. hukkineni Priesner. Most specimens of the new species have only one sense cone on the antennal segment III, but it is unusual among Iranian members of the genus in having another sense cone on the antennal segment III in a few specimens.
