The genus Psilothrips currently comprises five species, with two in western USA and three in the Mediterranean area ( Minaei and Mound 2015). The genus is a member of the Anaphothrips genus group ( Masumoto and Okajima 2017) and is distinguished by: median pair of setae on tergites III–VII very long, normally longer than tergite, arising on the antecostal ridges; tergite VIII lacking a posteromarginal comb of microtrichia; fore wing without cilia on the anterior margin; sternites with discal setae. Species of this genus appear to be phytophagous and are associated with various plant families including Fabaceae ( Alavi and Mohiseni 2002) and Solanaceae ( Li et al. 2012) , as well as Amaranthaceae , Asclepiadaceae , Chenopodiaceae and Zygophyllaceae ( Minaei and Mound 2015) .
