Abstract

Notes are given on the host range, distribution and recognition of the ten species of Scirtothrips recorded as pests: S. aurantii Faure on citrus in South Africa and bananas in Yemen; S. bispinosus (Bagn.) on tea in S. India; S. citri (Moult.) on citrus in California; S. dorsalis Hood on groundnuts in India, tea in Japan and strawberries in Queensland; S. inermis Priesn. on citrus in New Zealand; S. kenyensis Mound on tea in Kenya; S. longipennis (Bagn.) in glasshouses; S. mangiferae Priesn. on mango in Egypt and Israel; S. manihoti (Bondar) on cassava in Brazil; S. oligochaetus (Karny) on cotton in India. S. acaciae Moult, from Ghana is synonymised with S. aurantii Faure, and S. fragariae (Gir.) from Queensland is synonymised with S. dorsalis Hood. Drepanothrips reuteri Uzel, a grapevine pest from Europe and America which is very similar to Scirtothrips species, is newly recorded from Japan on Castanea.
