Abstract

Two new species, Phytocoris (Compsocerocoris) amardus sp. nov. and Phytocoris (Compsocerocoris) hyrcaniaensis sp. nov. are described from Guilan province, Iran. Description, diagnoses, male color habitus image and illustrations of male genitalia are presented for each taxon to aid in unequivocal identification. A revised taxonomic key to the species of subgenus Compsocerocoris Reuter known in Iran is also provided. The type specimens were deposited in the insect collection of the University of Guilan, Rasht, Iran.
