7E678796A85BFFF2B7BCF8FAEA74FE35.taxon	description	Referring to Priesner (1964) and zur Strassen (2003) the genus Kakothrips is characterized by the continuous row of setae on both longitudinal veins of the fore wing, and the conspicuously long setae on the anterior margin and angles of the pronotum. These features are shared with the genus Frankliniella Karny, and the species in both genera share the following character states: 8 - segmented antennae with segments III and IV bearing forked sense cones; maxillary palpi 3 - segmented; two pairs of ante-ocellar setae; mesothorax with spinula; ctenidia on tergite VIII located cephalad and lateral to the spiracles. Kakothrips is distinguished from Frankliniella by the position of the interocellar setae which are between the hind ocelli in Kakothrips, while they are usually in front of the hind ocelli in Frankliniella; fore tarsi with a tooth of varying shape, size, and location in Kakothrips but absent in Frankliniella; fore wings usually dark coloured (brown) but colourless, pale or grey in Frankliniella; tergites VI – VIII with weak ctenidia that are well developed on V – VIII in Frankliniella; female sternite VII S 1 setae distant from hind margin but on the margin in Frankliniella.	en	Negiş, İnci Şahin (2023): Kakothrips acanthus Berzosa (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in Türkiye, with an illustrated key to the species of Kakothrips.

7E678796A85AFFF0B7BCFAD8EDF4F9FC.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnostic characters of this specimen. Female (macroptera), body colour almost as described by Berzosa. Body dark brown (Fig. 14), including middle and hind legs, fore femora, and antennal segments I – II, the rest of antennal segments, fore tibiae, and tarsi, from light brown to brown. Fore wings are not uniformly coloured, being slightly darker in basal than apical half (Fig. 14). The following measurements in microns of this specimen are smaller than those given by Berzosa (1994): length (width): head 128 (142) vs 148 – 162 (153 – 167); pronotum, 144 (212) vs 160 – 200 (195 – 243); antennal segments I – II 23 (27) and 35 (25) vs 21 – 26 (28 – 32) and 35 – 42 (28 – 30), III – IV 53 (21) and 46 (21) vs 60 – 67 (23 – 26) and 53 – 58 (21 – 23), V – VI 35 (17) and 45 (17) vs 37 – 42 (18 – 22) and 46 – 52 (21 – 22), VII – VIII 8 (7) and 15 (5) vs 8 – 9 (8 – 9) and 14 – 17 (7): lengths: antenna 269 vs 304 – 323; fore wing 807 vs 902 – 1083; total body (extended) 1635 vs 1846 – 2083; interocellar setae 55 vs 70 – 77; longest postocular setae 42 vs 35 – 49; posteroangular pronotal setae, outer (inner) 56 (70) vs 70 – 93 (77 – 93); longest pronotal posteromarginal setae 28 vs 41 – 56; tergite IX S 1 setae 110, S 2 123 and S 3 119 vs S 1 146 – 165, S 2 151 – 167 and S 3 151 – 172; fore wing first vein setal number 18 vs 21 – 27.	en	Negiş, İnci Şahin (2023): Kakothrips acanthus Berzosa (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in Türkiye, with an illustrated key to the species of Kakothrips.

7E678796A85AFFF0B7BCFAD8EDF4F9FC.taxon	discussion	Comments. The most significant diagnostic characters of K. acanthus are the hook-shaped tooth on the fore tarsi, and spurs on the middle and hind tibiae (Figs 1, 5, 6). Females of borberae and acanthus are similarly brown in colour, and males have two median pairs of spurs, also one pair of median dorsal setae on abdominal tergite IX. The two species differ in the chaetotaxy of the pronotum: acanthus has three pairs of small setae between the major posteromedian and posteroangular setae (absent in borberae), also discal setae are present on the pronotum (absent in borberae). Moreover, K. borberae is known only from micropterae, whereas the adults of other species are macropterous. Metanotal campaniform sensilla are present on five species (acanthus, pisivorus, priesnerorum, priesneri and dentatus) but absent in firmoides and borberae (unknown in dolosus). In three species, acanthus, priesneri, and dentatus postocular setae S 4 are longer than the others, but in borberae and pisivorus only setae S 3 and in dolosus both S 2 and S 4 are long. The males of borberae, pisivorus, priesneri, priesnerorum, and firmoides can be identified by their rounded or oval pore plates located on sternite III – VI, in contrast to the pore plates on sternite III – VII of males in dolosus, dentatus, and acanthus.	en	Negiş, İnci Şahin (2023): Kakothrips acanthus Berzosa (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in Türkiye, with an illustrated key to the species of Kakothrips.
