The study revealed 74 Thysanoptera species and 45 of them are new records for the region. Three genera, namely Bregmatothrips Hood, Eremiothrips Priesner, and Iridothrips Priesner; and 5 species, namely Bregmatothrips dimorphus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Priesner);, Eremiothrips dubius insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Priesner);, Eremiothrips taghizadehi insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(zur Strassen);, Iridothrips iridis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Watson);, and Mycterothrips annulicornis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Uzel); are new records for the Turkish fauna. The previously unknown male insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(allotype); of Rhipidothrips flavus Tunç was discovered and described. The most common and abundant species, with the number of samples-specimens they were represented by, were Thrips meridionalis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Priesner); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(92-437);, Thrips tabaci Lindeman insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(137-412);, and Haplothrips reuteri insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Trybom); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(130-489);. Among the others, Aeolothrips collaris Priesner insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(48-130);, Aeolothrips intermedius Bagnall insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(73-189);, Melanthrips pallidior Priesner insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(39-124);, Chirothrips manicatus Haliday insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(39-148);, Tenothrips frici insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Uzel); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(36-160);, and Haplothrips tritici Kurdjumov insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(46-168); were more frequent and abundant.
