Abstract
The study of external morphology of the second-instar larvae of chilli thrips Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood (Thysanoptera, Thripidae) is presented. As a result of the study of the larvae collected from photinia plants for planting from Italy, as well as the study of research papers, the possibility of identification at the larval stage has been confirmed. The main morphological characteristics of the species have been identified and photographs of the main diagnostic characteristics are presented. In addition to the characteristics indicated in the diagnostic key of Vierbergen et al., other morphological peculiarities of the species have been identified, such as campaniform sensilla on the X abdomen tergite and sense cones on the II segment of antennae. However, these data require completion and clarification, because without sufficient amount of comparative material, it is impossible to assess how much these characteristics change within a species and a genus.
