“…The family Aeolothripidae is the third largest family in the order Thysanoptera, after Phlaeothripidae and Thripidae with 220 extant species in 23 genera worldwide (Alavi & Minaei, 2018;Mirab-balou, 2019). Members of this family are facultative predators of other small arthropods, and feed on both floral tissues as well as on thrips and mites that live in flowers.…”

Up to the present, 16 species of the genus Aeolothrips have been recorded from Türkiye. This study identified a new predatory species, Aeolothrips wittmeri Priesner from cucumber fields in Diyarbakır Province, Türkiye. The species is similar to another predatory thrips Aeolothrips gloriosus Bagnall in color of last abdominal segments in which abdominal segments VIII–X and sometimes VII are dark brown and other parts of the body are yellow to light brown with pale brown spots. The characters separating these two species are provided in this manuscript with illustrations. The information gathered in this study can provide valuable information for future biological control programs for thrips in the future.

“…Suborder Terebrantia includes 2,646 described species belonging to Thripidae (2201 species), Aeolothripidae (222 species), Melanthripidae (79 species), and other families (Buckman et al, 2013; Ebratt-Ravelo et al, 2019). While species of Thripidae and Aeolothripidae are phytophagous and predatory, some species of Aeolothripidae are facultative predators of small arthropods (Mound, 2002; Tyagi et al, 2008; Reynaud, 2010; Alavi et al, 2016; Ebratt-Ravelo et al, 2019; Mirab-balou, 2019). All species of Melanthripidae are phytophagous (Moritz et al, 2001; Mound and Morris, 2007; Mirab-balou et al, 2011; Mirab-balou & Chen, 2011).…”

Current and Future Diversity of Thysanoptera Species in the Cereal Areas of the Lakes Region, Turkey

et al. 2023

Field surveys were carried out to determine the thrips fauna in cereal production areas of the Lakes Region in Turkey in 2016 and 2017. Thysanoptera specimens were collected with destructive and strike methods in two periods (before and after spike) from each production field during the production season. Thrips specimens were identified based on morphological taxonomic characters. Species distribution maps, species richness, abundance, as well as Shannon-Wiener (H') index, species seasonal dynamic and species sex ratio were calculated to indicate the diversity of Thysanoptera species in the Lakes Region. We also calculated Pearson correlation coefficient to evaluate correlation between Thysanoptera species richness and host plant richness. Species Distribution Modelling, namely MaxEnt algorithm, was used in order to establish the current and future distributional patterns of Thysanoptera species collected in our research area. During the two years of the study, 27,603 specimens of Thysanoptera were collected in production fields of wheat, oat and barley. There were 51 different species from four families. Haplothrips tritici was the most abundant species with 15,284 specimens or 55.371% of all collected. The highest relative abundance within family Thripidae was recorded for Collembolothrips mediterraneus, Chirothrips manicatus, Thrips angusticeps, Thrips herricki and Limothrips cerealium. Considering the altitudinal gradient of the study area, the highest species richness and abundance were found between 950 and 1,050 m.a.s.l. with 40 species and 7,622 specimens recorded. Potential species richness of Thysanoptera revealed an increase in areas that predominantly encompass eastern parts of Burdur province, as well as central north parts of Isparta.

Two new species Aeolothrips kermanensis sp. n., from the southeast, and Aeolothrips richardi sp. n. from the west of Iran are described as new to science. Host-plant relationships among Aeolothrips Haliday species of Iran are discussed. The record of A. montivagus from Iran was revised. The list of Iranian species of Aeolothrips is updated and diagnostic characters for the two new species are illustrated.
