مشخصات پژوهش

During the year 2023, Hypericaceae plants were sampled in Iran and two new Aculus species were found on them: Aculus quattuorlaminate Lotfollahi, Jahandideh et Honarmand sp. nov. on Hypericum perforatum L. and Aculus hufarighooni Honarmand, Jahandideh et Lotfollahi sp. nov. on Hypericum scabrum L. Both species were vagrant on their host plants. In this study we provided a list of eriophyoid species collected on Hypericaceae plants worldwide, their type host, type locality and habitus, and a key for identification of them.
