Collembolothrips Priesner

Remarks.

This genus comprises two grass-living species ( ThripsWiki 2013) of which Collembolothrips mediterraneus Priesner has been reported from Iran ( Bhatti et al. 2009a). It is easily distinguished from other thripine in Iran by the absence of a spinula on both the meso- and metathoracic furca, also the lack of ocelli and wings, and the 2-segmented maxillary palps.
