Abstract :
Planthoppers are small insects, belonging to the superfamily Fulgoroidea. They cause economic damages by sucking their saps and also transmit some diseases to the plants. In this study, a list of 42 species of planthoppers in the northwestern Iran is provided via collecting specimens in the field and also examining some already deposited material in Hayk Mirzayans Insect Museum. Additionally, the species recordings published materials in the recent 100 years were included. As a result, one species, Phantia zaitzevi Melichar (Flatidae) is recording for the first time from Iran. Five species, Kelisia ribauti Wagner (Delphacidae), Malenia sarmatica Anufriev (Derbidae), Nymphorgerius rostratus Emeljanov (Dictyopharidae), Meenoplus albosignatus Fieber (Meenoplidae) and Tettigometra eremi Lindberg (Tettigometridae) are firstly recorded for northwestern Iran. The five other species, Cixius pallipes Fieber (Cixiidae), Hyalesthes mlokosiewiczi Signoret (Cixiidae), Dictyophara europaea (Linnaeus) (Dictyopharidae), Dictyophara hoberlandti Dlabola (Dictyopharidae), and Tettigometra vitellina Fieber (Tettigometridae) are herewith recorded for the first time from one or more studied provinces.
