Abstract
Three new species of armoured scale insect from Iran, namely Cryptoparlatoreopsis kermanensis sp. n., Diaspis quercus sp. n., and Hemiberlesia uramanica sp. n. are described and illustrated, based on morphology of the adult female. Identification keys to the world species of Cryptoparlatoreopsis and to the Iranian species of Diaspis and Hemiberlesia are provided.
