Abstract

The genus Stenchaetothrips Bagnall is belonging to the subfamily Thripinae with only one species in Iran. Here, the second species, S. faurei (Bhatti, 1962) is newly recorded from the country. Only two female specimens of this species have been collected on the rice fields from Ilam province (west of Iran). The color of body (mainly pale yellow), absence of campaniform sensilla on metanotum and the presence of compete comb on posterior margin of abdominal tergite VIII have been considered the most important characters of the species. Relevant illustrations and geographical distribution of the species are provided.
