IRAN, Sistan and Baluchestan Province, Zabol (Pole-nahrab), 1 female, 1 male from Triticum aestivum, 13.iv. 2010 (M. Zolfaghari); Isfahan Province, Kabootar-abad, 1 female from Allium cepa, 20.x. 1997 (M.R. Bagheri). Comments. A. eremicola is a member of the versicolor -group in which the fore wing bears two cross bands connected by a longitudinal dark area along the posterior margin. In addition to eremicola and versicolor, four other species fall into this group: insularis, melaleucus, pulcher and wittmeri. All six species in this group are distributed around the Palaearctic Region, and all except eremicola are recorded from Europe (zur Strassen 2003). However melaleucus and versicolor are also found in North America (Hoddle et al. 2013), although the latter is there considered to be rare (Bailey 1951). A. eremicola is distinguished in both sexes from insularis, melaleucus and versicolor by the narrow form of the band along the fore wing posterior margin between the two cross bands, in contrast to the other three species that have a wider band. The pigmentation of the fore wings is very similar in eremicola, pulcher and wittmeri, but eremicola differs from these two species in the colour of tergites II–V or II–VI (brown versus yellow). The male is not described for pulcher. In the male of eremicola, the tergites are without tubercles and tergite IX lacks claspers and stout setae. In contrast, both insularis and melaleucus have paired tubercles on tergites IV–V, and tergite IX has non-bifurcate claspers. Of the remaining two species in the group, the male of eremicola is distinguished from wittmeri by the lack of a pair of stout setae on the hind margin of tergite IX (see zur Strassen 2003, page 55). The abdomen is similar in structure to versicolor, but these species differ in the pigmentation of the fore wings as indicated above. Moreover, antennal segment III in eremicola is brown in the apical two-thirds, but only the apical one third in versicolor. The small number of collected specimens on various plants suggests this species is a predator, but further investigations with a good series of specimens are needed.Published as part of Alavi, Jalil, Fekrat, Lida, Awal, Mehdi Modarres, Zolfaghari, Maryam & Minaei, Kambiz, 2013, Aeolothrips eremicola (Thysanoptera, Aeolothripidae): first record of the male from Iran, pp. 289-291 in Zootaxa 3683 (3) on pages 289-291, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3683.3.5, http://zenodo.org/record/22070
