THRIPINAE Stephens

Thripinae is the largest subfamily among Thripidae comprising about 1750 species. The members of Thripinae are spread throughout the world particularly in temperate regions with only a few genera restricted to the Neotropics (ThripsWiki 2023). From Saudi Arabia, 18 species in ten genera were previously recorded (zur Strassen 1979, 1990; Rasool et al. 2021a), but here we add 32 species and 17 genera new country records, with two species newly described.
