Abstract

Two new larval species of Erythraeus from western Iran, namely: E. (Zaracarus) soleimanii sp. nov. from a green lacewing, Chrysoperla kolthoffi (Navas) and E. (Z.) hamedanicus sp. nov. from a firebug, Pyrrhocoris apterus L. (Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae) are illustrated and described. A key to the world species is given.
