چکیده

Thrips specimens were collected in the year 2014 on different ornamental plants from Mahallat (Markazi Province), Iran.

The scientific names of thrips species are as follow: Melanthrips knechteli, M. pallidior, Frankliniella intonsa, F. occidentalis, Microcephalothrips abdominalis, Tenothrips discolor, T. latoides, Thrips meridionalis, T. nigropilosus, T. tabaci, and Haplothrips reuteri.Among them, seven species are newly recorded for the fauna of Markazi Province.
