Eremiothrips Negevi, A New Species Of Thrips From Israel (Insecta: Thysanoptera: Terebrantia: Thripidae)

A new species of thrips, Eremiothrips negevi n. sp., is described from the Negev, an arid region in southern Israel. The new species differs from its congeners in having nine antennal segments, narrowly transverse pore plates on sternites IV–VII of males, and in the absence of drepanae on tergite IX of males. Eremiothrips negevi n. sp. is considered a pest to Sarcocornia fruticosa (Amarantaceae), which is commercially grown in greenhouses in southern Israel.
