Scirtothrips hafezi Minaei & Mound View in CoL
Scirtothrips hafezi Minaei & Mound, 2018: 289 View in CoL View Cited Treatment .
Over 100 species are recognized in the genus Scirtothrips View in CoL , and each of these seems to feed on young leaves or very young fruits. They are found in a wide range of habitats, and the range of host plants is very considerable, with some species being crop pests and a few breeding on young fern fronds. This species was collected from Tamarix View in CoL sp. in Fars province, Iran. It is unusual among Scirtothrips View in CoL species in having two pairs of long pronotal posteroangular setae, and ocellar setae III unusually long ( Minaei & Mound 2018), character states that it shares only with a single species from South Africa. Although some Scirtothrips View in CoL are highly polyphagous, many species are host-specific, but with diverse host associations including tree ferns, cycads and several unrelated angiosperms.
