Abstract :The larval instar of Allothrombium incarnatum Oudemans, 1905 was detected for the first time by experimental rearing from field-collected females. Based on its morphological characters, Allothrombium monosolenidion Kamran and Alatawi, 2020 syn. nov., known only from larval instar, is considered a junior synonym of A. incarnatum. Data on the habitat and host of this species are also presented.
