Rubiothrips Schliephake

Remarks.

This genus includes seven species (ThripsWiki 2013), and one of these has been recorded from Iran (Bhatti et al. 2009a). The genus is included in the Anaphothrips genus-group (Mound and Masumoto 2009), and is distinguished from Anaphothrips by having abdominal tergites with median pair of setae (S1) longer than inter-distance (zur Strassen 2003a).
