Scirtothrips Shull

Remarks.

The genus Scirtothrips currently includes 103 species (ThripsWiki 2013), and two of these have been recorded from Iran (Bhatti et al. 2009a). It includes several important pest species (Mound and Palmer 1981b, Mirab-balou et al. 2012b). The report of Scirtothrips citri (Moulton) from Iran has not been accepted (Bhatti and zur Strassen 2009).
