Description
Dolichothrips varipes Bagnall
(Figs 4, 13–14, 19, 25, 48)
Dolichothrips varipes Bagnall, 1921: 359.
Although this species was described from India, it is widespread in Afrotropical countries (Cape Verde Islands, Ethiopia, Sudan) to Socotra Islands (zur Strassen 2004), and is new to Saudi Arabia. It is very close to D. zyziphi in structural details, however, it can be separated by yellow apex of mid and hind tibiae, compared to brown in D. zyziphi (Mound & Okajima 2015).
Material examined. Asir. one female from Cenchrus ciliaris, six females from Abutilon indicum, Muhayil, 20.xi.2023, (BT); Al Baha. one female from Solanum macranthum, one female from Rhus retinorrhoea, Shada Al Aala, 8.iv.2019, (BT).
