The eight species listed under this genus are mainly from the Holarctic (ThripsWiki 2019), with six of them de- scribed from the following countries: China, Cuba, Kyrgyzstan, Morocco, North America, South Africa. The type species, C. monilicornis (Reuter) (Fig. 6) is known widely across Europe and is reported from North America (Mound et al, 2018). In Iran, two females were taken from flowering Carum carvi (Apiaceae) (Alavi & Kamali 2003), and the species was also recorded from barley in Gorgan (Alavi et al. 2007). C. coxalis Bagnall (Fig. 7) was described from southern France, but it is also recorded from Iran and Morocco (Alavi & Kamali 2003; Minaei & Mound 2014). During the present study a few wingless specimens of C. coxalis were collected from leaf litter in Fars province.
