Abstract

The specimens of both sexes of Eremiothrips tamaricis (zur Strassen)were collected on tamarisk from Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province, south west of Iran. The male of the species is described and illustrated for the first time. It is unique among species of the genus in having transverse pore plates on abdominal sternites III and IV and the presence of small paired postero-marginal processes on tergite IX. The variation in number of posteromarginal setae on the pronotum, as well as host association for this species is briefly discussed.
