Thrips scotti (Moulton)

This species is known only from the original description and a re-description ( Mound 2010). It was described from seven females, sampled on the same day and at the same location as Thrips cf. abyssinae ( Moulton, 1928). On 11.v.2005 J. G. de Zeeuw found a single female of this species in a consignment of Dianthus cut flower from Ethiopia in an import nursery at Noordwijk. The following illustrations (Figs 17–22) are of this specimen that has been compared with the re-description by Mound (2010).
