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).
