Liothrips reuteri (Bagnall) View in CoL

Compsothrips reuteri Bagnall, 1913: 295 View in CoL .

Liothrips jazykovi Moulton, 1946: 56 View in CoL . Syn. n.

Described originally from Egypt, but with five synonymic names from Turkmenistan, Albania and Yemen (Thrips Wiki 2020), this species has also been recorded from the Canary Islands and India. Apparently a specific foliage feeder on Tamarix View in CoL species, it has been reported from this plant in the southern and central parts of Iran by various authors ( Mortazawiha & Dern 1977; Barkhordari et al. 1981; Kheyrandish Koshkoei 2000). The macropterous form was described by Minaei and Mound (2014) as being apparently most common in spring. Moulton described L. jazykovi View in CoL based on one female and one male from Tashkent, Uzbekistan, on Tamarix View in CoL . He considered it comparable with L. reuteri View in CoL although the latter “has a protruding vertex and a lighter colored antenna”. Considering the host and collecting locality of this species, also the variation in L. reuteri View in CoL , these two are here considered to represent the same species. Specimens that are available in PPSU show variation in colour of antennal segments ( Figs 11–14 View FIGURES 11–14 ). With over 260 species, the members of this leaf-feeding genus have been taken from a wide range of unrelated plants. However, as most species are known from very small samples, the level of host-specificity remains unclear.
