Hemiptera aphid new species Macrosiphoniella kermanensis Coloradoa heinzei Artemisia Aphididae Kerman Iran

Abstract

Apterous and alate viviparous females of Macrosiphoniella kermanensis sp. nov. living on Artemisia sieberi (Asteraceae) are described from Iran. Also, Coloradoa heinzei (Borner) from Artemisia aucheri (Asteraceae), as a new record in Iran, is redescribed. A key to the apterous viviparous females of Macrosiphoniella del Guercio species living on Artemisia in Iran is given.
