Remarks.

The 27 known species of Mycterothrips ( ThripsWiki 2013) are leaf-feeding thrips, and some of them are associated with agricultural crops ( Masumoto and Okajima 2006). An identification key to five species from Taiwan was provided by Wang (1999), a key to seven species has been provided by zur Strassen (2003a), and a key to 27 species by Masumoto and Okajima (2006). Up to now, four species have been recorded from Iran, with two new species described recently ( Mirab-balou et al. 2011b).
