نویسندگان
چکیده
Scolothrips ochoa sp. n. is described from Australia feeding on mites of the genus Raoiella (Tenuipalpidae). Apparently host-specific, this thrips is unusual within the Thripinae in lacking ocellar setae pairs I and II. Moreover, it differs from other Scolothrips species in lacking elongate pronotal midlateral setae, and by having antennal segments III–IV and V– VI broadly joined.
