Liophloeothrips Priesner

Of the 17 species listed in this genus (ThripsWiki 2019) 13 are known only from India (Tyagi & Kumar 2011). However, the type species, L. glaber, and two other species, L. hungaricus and L. pulchrisetis, are described from Europe. From Iran, L. hungaricus has been recorded without any information concerning the locality, date of collection, or number of specimens (Mortazaviha 1995), although this species is possibly associated with the bark of certain Salicaceae (Minaei & Mound 2014) . The only other species in this genus, L. arjanicus (Fig. 4), was described from both sexes extracted from leaf litter using a Berlese funnel, and is possibly part of the community of fungus-feeding litter thrips (Hakimara et al. 2019).
