FOLIA ENTOMOLOGICA HUNGARICA ROVARTANI KÖZLEMÉNYEK XLV. 2 1984 p. 105-108 Data to the Thysanoptera fauna of Afghanistan By G. JENSER (Received May 10, 1984) Abstract: Seventeen species of Thysanoptera found In Afghanistan are listed together with locality and other pertaining data. These are the first records of these species for Afghanistan. Aeolothrlps afghanus is described as a new species. Dr. L. PAPP had the opportunity In the year of 1974 to make a zoological collecting trip in Afghanistan. He also collected Thysanoptera species. Subsequenthy I give new data to the Thysanoptera fauna of Afghanistan. I should especially like to thank Dr. J. PELIKAN (Brno) for his help and his advice while preparing my work.
