Abstract

Abstract
In the present study, the species ‘Dendrothrips octosparsusWang, Mound and Tong 2019’ collected from Ilam Province is recorded in Iran for the first time. Currently, the genus Dendrothrips has seven species in Iran, and the identification key for Iranian species is provided. Diagnostic morphological characteristics and the geographical distribution of the newly-recorded species are briefly discussed.
