New thrips species (Insecta: Thysanoptera) for the Serbian fauna

112 species have been listed in the last published check-list of thrips in Serbia. In this paper we introduce three new thrips species for this country. Orothrips priesneri , an aeolothripid species, has a discontinuous Mediterranean distribution. In Serbia it was found at several localities along the course of the Danube, a region with a warm, submediterranean influence. Its general distribution pattern makes its presence in Serbia unexpected. The hygrophilous species Iridothrips iridis was collected on the leaves of Iris pseudacorus in the vicinity of Grocka, near Belgrade. Platythrips tunicatus , which is widespread in Europe, is an oligophagous species related especially to plants from the genus Galium
