Extract

A new species of thrips is described which is predatory on Tetranychid mites on apple trees in Iraq. It bears a superficial resemblance to species of Scolothrips, but in view of the undivided tarsi and the chaetotaxy of teh head and pronotum it is placed in a new genus as Parascolothrips priesneri sp.n.
