Abstract

Three species of the genus Scolothrips Hinds, all predatory on spider mites [Tetranychidae], are recorded here from Japan,with S. rhagebianus Priesner newly recorded from this country. These three species, including S. asura Ramakrishna & Margabandhu and S. takahashii Priesner, are re-described.
