The widespread minor pest of mulberry, P. m o r i , is the only species that has previously been recorded in Iran . P. bhattii is here newly recorded from Iran , and is considered a pest of Morus trees in Southeast Asia. This species is also recorded from Australia , Japan and Pakistan ( Mound 1999 ; Akram et al . 2003 ).
