Abstract :

In order to study the Psylloidea fauna of Kurdistan province, Iran, the specimens were collected from different regions of the province during 2012 and 2013. Totally 19 species of 7 genera and 4 subfamilies were identified belonging to Aphalaridae (1 species), Liviidae (6 species), Psyllidae (7 species) and Triozidae (5 species) families. Of these, one species, Camarotoscena trjapitzini Loginova, 1968, is a new record for Iranian fauna and 17 species are new for the province. By considering the results of this research, the number of identified Psyllid species from Iran increases to 96 from 27 genera and 5 families.
