Mirab-Balou M. - Chen X. -x: Description of a new species of Haplothrips (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) from Iran
46 Natura Somogyiensis Material and methods Specimens were collected from different places in Hamedan and Alborz Provinces, Iran, and prepared on slides using the method of Mirab-Balou & Chen (2010). Morphological terminology follows Okajima (2006). All descriptions, measurements and photos were made with a Leica DM IRB microscope, a Leica MZ APO microscope with a Leica Image 1000 system. The type specimens are deposited in the Institute of Insect Sciences, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China (ZJUH). Description of the new species Haplotlirips rasouliani sp. n. Material examined'.
