Abstract
|
During field surveys of eriophyoid species associated with rosaceous plants in Zagros forests of Iran, three new
species were discovered and described including Eriophyes cotosarica sp. nov. from Cotoneaster hissaricus
Pojark., Eriophyes cratameyeris sp. nov. from Crataegus meyeri Pojark. and Eriophyes pyrusyriaca sp. nov.
from Pyrus syriaca Boiss. All species cause galls on their host plant’s leaves. In addition, a list of Eriophyes
species found on Rosaceous plants in Iran and a supplementary description of Eriophyes pyri (Pagenstecher,
1857) are provided.
