Description

Thrips scotti (Moulton)

This species is known only from the original description and a re-description (Mound 2010). It was described from seven females, sampled on the same day and at the same location as Thrips cf. abyssinae (Moulton, 1928). On 11.v.2005 J. G. de Zeeuw found a single female of this species in a consignment of Dianthus cut flower from Ethiopia in an import nursery at Noordwijk. The following illustrations (Figs 17–22) are of this specimen that has been compared with the re-description by Mound (2010).
