Abstract:
Colposcenia albomaculata Loginova (Aphalaridae) and Cacopsylla initialis (Loginova) (Psyllidae) are recorded for the first time from Iran. The former was previously known only from Afghanistan, Tadzhikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, and the latter from Armenia and the Korean Peninsula. Here we discuss morphological characters for separating Colposcenia albomaculata and the similar C. osmanica Vondráček, and we redescribe C.initialis. Moreover, morphological similarity suggests that C. initialis and Psyllapraevia Loginova are congeneric, and, therefore, we propose the following new combination: Cacopsylla praevia (Loginova), comb. nov.
