An Identification key to the species of Auchenorrhyncha of Iranian fauna recorded as pests in orchards and a review on the pest status of the species Author Mozaffarian, Fariba text Zootaxa 2018 4420 4 475 501 journal article 29159 10.11646/zootaxa.4420.4.2 6c0c4a13-180c-43db-b19e-f828948b3224 1175-5326 1455385 A7D21075-9BFE-4BED-9663-1E18BE4226BC Laodelphax striatellus (Fallén, 1826) ( Figs 4 and 15a–b ) Recorded damage and economic importance in the orchards of Iran: Not recorded. Recorded damage in the orchards of other parts of the world: It is recorded as a potential vector for Bois noir/ Stolbur phytoplasma. The species tested positive to Aster yellows in vineyards in the Czech Republic ( Batlle et al . 2000 ; Orsagova et al . 2011 ). Recorded distribution in Iran : Nearly all of Iran ( Mozaffarian & Wilson 2011 ). Conclusion: The species is widely distributed in Iran. Due to the records of its vector status elsewhere, it needs to be investigated in Iran as well.
