An Identification key to the species of Auchenorrhyncha of Iranian fauna recorded as pests in orchards and a review on the pest status of the species Author Mozaffarian, Fariba text Zootaxa 2018 4420 4 475 501 journal article 29159 10.11646/zootaxa.4420.4.2 6c0c4a13-180c-43db-b19e-f828948b3224 1175-5326 1455385 A7D21075-9BFE-4BED-9663-1E18BE4226BC Reptalus quinquecostatus (Dufour, 1833) ( Figs 3 and 14a–c ) Recorded damage and economic importance in the orchards of Iran: The species was not recorded as pest on the Iranian fruit trees. However, it has been recorded as pest with mild economic importance on leaves of Salix spp. ( Abaii 2000 ). Recorded damage in the orchards of other parts of the world: The species was reported to have a potential role as a vector for phytoplasma: positive to phytoplasma of Bois noir in grapevine and a potential vector in Serbian vineyards, with the ability of transmitting the stobur phytoplasma in artificial condition and an important vector of stolbur phytoplasma in potatoes in Romania and Southern Russia ( Bertin et al . 2010b , Cvrkovic et al . 2011 , Pinzauti et al . 2008 ). Recorded distribution in Iran: North ( Mozaffarian & Wilson 2011 ). Conclusion: Due to the records in other parts of the world, status as a potential phytoplasma vector in Iran needs to be studied.
