Abstract

One hundred and fifty-seven species of Thysanoptera are recorded from Israel, including 32 newly recorded species. A bibliography on this thrips fauna is provided. The thrips in Israel comprise two groups: the native and the introduced species. The native species mainly comprise typical Mediterranean elements; whereas the introduced species mainly comprise agricultural pests.
