N2 - We describe Aeolothrips romanruizi sp. nova that has been recently discovered in mango orchards in the Isthmus region of Oaxaca in southern Mexico. Aeolothrips romanruizi sp. nova exhibits an ornamentation of the mesonotum and metanotum very different from others in this genus, except A. microstriatus, which is similarly ornamented; but these 2 species differ in forewing color pattern, body size and some other characters of chaetotaxy. A key to the Aeolothrips species of Central America and Mexico is provided.
