Aeolothrips naderii Minaei & Mound View in CoL
Aeolothrips naderii Minaei & Mound, 2019: 447 View in CoL View Cited Treatment .
This species was described from 25 females taken from Tamarix View in CoL sp., in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, Yasouj, Iran. These females are remarkable in having the number of antennal segments reduced to seven or even six. Initially the possibility was considered that they might be aberrant individuals. However, although the specimens were all taken at the same site, they were collected on four different occasions over a period of 12 months during 2017 and 2018. They are at present considered to represent an unusual species that is host-limited to Tamarix View in CoL foliage, although whether phytophagous or predatory on other small arthropods is not known.
