Abstract
Eremiothrips Priesner, comprising 19 species in the world (ThripsWiki 2017), is a member of Anaphothrips genus-group in which species lack long setae or have only a single pair of more prominent setae on the pronotum (Bhatti et al. 2003, Mound & Masumoto 2009). Two species in this genus, E. eshghii Minaei and E. efflatouni (Priesner), have no long setae on the posterior angles of the pronotum in either sex, whereas the remaining members usually have one pair of long setae on the posterior angles of the pronotum.
