Ascirtothrips tamaricis zur Strassen, 1975 : 260.

The genus Eremiothrips comprises 21 species and is found in areas of the Palaearctic that are usually dry between Morocco, Iran, Kazakhstan and inner Mongolia. This species was described from Morocco on 22 females collected from Tamarix balansae and T. articulata . Both sexes of this species have subsequently been collected on tamarisk from Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province, south west of Iran, and the first description of the male was provided recently by Minaei and Aleosfoor (2020). Members of this genus are currently not known to show specificity to either flowers or foliage.
