The species was described from Austria (Kirschbaum, 1868) where it is very rare now and found only in Eastern part of the country in Neusliedlersee National Park (Holzinger & Fröhlich, 2006). Currently it is widely distributed in the Palaearctic region from Europe to northwestern China (Nast, 1972; Mitjaev, 2002; Mitjaev & Huang, 1995) living on Aeluropus littoralis and Alopecurus sp. (Poaceae) (Emeljanov, 1964; Mitjaev, 1971, 2002; Tishechkin, 2000). Comparisons of type specimens of P. wilsoni from Israel to specimens of P. pictipennis from various parts of its known range in the collection of the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg) indicate that these species cannot be distinguished morphologically and should be treated as synonyms. The two species share the same shape of sac-like aedeagus with equally broad dorsal and ventral lobes. They also share the presence of a fully articulated paraphysis bearing a dorsal extension which is strongly produced and elongated posteriorly, ending in a sharp tip, and the same sharply produced edge of male subgenital plates. They also display the same coloration scheme, as described and illustrated by Sinaiko & Dietrich (2020). Linnavuori (1962) included P. pictipennis in his checklist of the leafhoppers of Israel, suggesting that the type series of P. wilsoni belongs to the same population of P. pictipennis studied by Linnavuori, but we were unable to examine these specimens., Published as part of Gnezdilov, Vladimir M. & Sinaiko, Guy, 2023, Revisionary notes on the genus Paraphysifer Sinaiko & Dietrich, 2020 (Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae), pp. 295-300 in Zootaxa 5254 (2) on page 298, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5254.2.9, http://zenodo.org/record/7727515, {"references":["Kirschbaum, C.

The species is named after the island. Comparison. This new species is close to Morsina ainsefra (Holzinger, 2019) from Algeria according to distinct median carina of metope only, but differs considerably in its male anal tube without lateral processes and short capitulum of style (Figs 9, 12). The above-mentioned genital characters bring the new species close to M. gnezdilovi (Holzinger, 2019) from Morocco, but the latter is peculiar in its short forewings (Holzinger 2019, figs 5D, 6A). The dorsal phallobase process of the new species (Fig. 5, dp) is homologous with the hollow cylindrical projection of the phallobase of M. aculeata Gnezdilov, 2017, from the United Arab Emirates (Gnezdilov 2017b, figs 5, 6, c). The last species also has short style capitulum., Published as part of Gnezdilov, Vladimir M., López, Heriberto & Suárez, Daniel, 2023, Family Nogodinidae (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea) from the Canary Islands, with the description of a new species of the genus Morsina Melichar, 1902, pp. 567-574 in Zootaxa 5231 (5) on pages 568-572, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5231.5.5, http://zenodo.org/record/7609708, {"references":["Holzinger, W.

Notes: Achrus taghizadehi and A. caligonicolus were described by Dlabola (1981) from the southeast of Iran. Dlabola indicated different colors (green for A. taghizadehi and brown for A. caligonicolus), slight differences in the adult size, different curvature of aedeagal shaft, size and distinctness of aedeagal teeth, the length of teeth row on the aedeagal shaft, shape of stylus apex and some other characters as diagnostic for these species. Our examination of the paratypes of A. taghizadehi deposited in HMIM and other specimens from different parts of Iran, including two specimens from south of Kerman, close to the type locality of A. caligonicolus, showed that only two populations —one in Yazd province in central Iran and another in south of Kerman have brown color, while all other specimens were entirely greenish except for some from Kerman and Yazd provinces with brown apical halves of forewings. Male genitalia structure of 17 dissected specimens showed some structural variation without correlation with coloration of the specimens (figs 1a–d) and the diagnoses provided by Dlabola (1981) were variable in some cases. The material examined matches with the illustration of A. albicosta by Gnezdilov et al. (2021) and confirms the suggested synonymy of Achrus caligonicolus Dlabola, 1981 and Achrus taghizadehi Dlabola, 1981 with A. albicosta (Kusnezov, 1929). A. albicosta was already recorded from China, Mongolia, Middle Asia and Eastern Anatolia (Mitjaev & Huang, 1995; Gnezdilov et al., 2021). A. taghizadehi and A caligonicolus were recorded from southeast, northeast and central Iran (Chahak, Gorgan, Isfahan, Kerman, Nough, and Yazd Provinces) by Dlabola (1981), Barkhordari et al. (1981), Mirzayans (1995), and Shamszadeh (2002). These records of A. albicosta in Iran, along with more localities recorded here (Fig. 26), fill the gap in distribution of this species from Middle Asia to eastern Anatolia without crossing the wall-like Alborz Mountains in the north of Iran. Mirzayans (1995) recorded this species from Pistacia vera and the material listed above shows the species also occurs on Tamarix and on cotton fields at 940–1689 m a.s.l., Published as part of Mozaffarian, Fariba & Gnezdilov, Vladimir M., 2022, Leafhoppers of the tribe Adelungiini (Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadellidae: Megophthalminae) in Iran, pp. 413-426 in Zootaxa 5213 (4) on pages 415-416, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5213.4.5, http://zenodo.org/record/7381477, {"references":["Kusnezov, V.

Notes: The species was originally recorded from Iranshahr in southeast of Iran (Dlabola, 1960a) and Gnezdilov (2021) recently recorded it from Bampur. Mirzayans (1995) mentioned this species from northeast of Iran (Gonbadkavus, gray dot in fig. 33). However, the last record may be an error due to the absence of this specimen in HMIM. Our data expands the known distribution of this species to the west of Iran (Fig. 33). The species was collected from March to December on 20–700 m a. l. s. Further collecting in south of Fars province may connect the two isolated distribution records of the species in southeast and southwest of the country (Fig. 33)., Published as part of Mozaffarian, Fariba & Gnezdilov, Vladimir M., 2022, Leafhoppers of the tribe Adelungiini (Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadellidae: Megophthalminae) in Iran, pp. 413-426 in Zootaxa 5213 (4) on page 420, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5213.4.5, http://zenodo.org/record/7381477, {"references":["Dlabola, J.

Notes: The male paratype (30 km N. Bampur 12–13.iv.1973, Loc. No. 159 (HMIM) designated by J. Dlabola in his original description of Adelungia primigena (Dlabola, 1984) was listed without indication of the museum for its depository. Our review of archived communication between J. Dlabola and H. Mirzayans discovered that Dlabola sent this specimen to Tehran before completing and publishing his study on genus Adelungia. This specimen was then mentioned by Mirzayans (1995) and Mozaffarian (2017) in the lists of Auchenorrhyncha of HMIM. However, in fact, the specimen mentioned above from Bampur belongs to Adelungia elegans. The species is known as endemic to Iran and was already recorded from Bampur, Bazman, Espakeh, and Hajiabad in the southeast of the country (Dlabola, 1984, Mirzayans, 1995).

Adelungia tridigitata Dlabola, 1984 (Figs 7 & 32) Adelungia tridigitata Dlabola, 1984: 36, fig. 38. Adelungia elegans: Dlabola, 1981: 224, fig. 164. Material examined: Kerman province: 1 Nymph, Dowlatabad, 8–9.v.1978, (marked as Paratype in HMIM but not mentioned in the original description). Sistan & Baluchestan, 42 nymphs, Iranshahr — Espakeh Rd., 26°54′54.3′′N 60°30′40′′E, 25.iv. 2012, 887 m, true desert on Tamarix, Mozaffarian leg. (HMIM). Notes: The nymph from Kerman Province (Dowlatabad, 8–9.v.1973) deposited in HMIM and labeled by J. Dlabola as paratype and then mentioned in the lists of Auchenorrhyncha of HMIM (Mirzayans, 1995; Mozaffarian, 2017). Our review of archived communication between J. Dlabola and H. Mirzayans discovered that Dlabola sent this specimen to Tehran more than three years before publishing the description of Adelungia tridigitata. This may be why the nymph is missed in the type series of original description of A. tridigitata (Dlabola, 1984). The illustration published by Dlabola in 1981 for the habitus of A. elegans Melichar (fig. 164) actually belongs to A. tridigitata which was described later (Dlabola, 1984). The species is endemic to Iran and limited in its distribution to southwest of the country (Dowlatabad (Hajiabad), Espakeh, Jask, Kahnuj (Dlabola, 1984, Mirzayans, 1995). The species is closely related or even a junior synonym of Adelungia breviceps Kusnezov, 1931 described after the series of specimens from Turkmenistan (Kusnezov, 1931) and later placed in synonymy under Adelungia calligoni Oshanin, 1908 by Emeljanov (1975). Our comparison of the head drawing by Kusnezov (1931, fig. 3) with the habitus drawing by Dlabola (1981, fig. 164) revealed close similarity of A. breviceps and A. tridigitata, however, for final decision male genitalia structure of the types of both species have to be compared., Published as part of Mozaffarian, Fariba & Gnezdilov, Vladimir M., 2022, Leafhoppers of the tribe Adelungiini (Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadellidae: Megophthalminae) in Iran, pp. 413-426 in Zootaxa 5213 (4) on pages 418-419, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5213.4.5, http://zenodo.org/record/7381477, {"references":["Dlabola, J.

Achrus prodigiosus (Melichar, 1902) (Figs 2 & 27) Idiocerus prodigiosus Melichar, 1902: 46. Symphypyga prodigiosa: Kusnezov, 1929: 340, figs 1, 2. Achrus prodigiosus: Emeljanov, 1975: 390. Type material examined: ♀, syntype, “Khunikaka, Kir—/ man, se Persia. / Zarudn 16 [hand written] VIII. 98” [print] // “ Idiocerus / prodigiosus Mel [hand written] / Melichar det. [print]” // “ Idiocerus / prodigiosus” [hand written] (ZIN). Notes: Idiocerus prodigiosus was described by Melichar (1902) based on a long series of specimens (13 females and 4 males). The species was originally described from two provinces in southeast of Iran (Kerman, Bampur, and Taftan as in fig. 27) (Melichar, 1902). Unfortunately, the precise location for “Khunikaka” in Kerman province is not clear. It was mentioned as an Iranoeramian faunal element by Dlabola (1981), occurring on desert plants, e. g. Calligonum., Published as part of Mozaffarian, Fariba & Gnezdilov, Vladimir M., 2022, Leafhoppers of the tribe Adelungiini (Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadellidae: Megophthalminae) in Iran, pp. 413-426 in Zootaxa 5213 (4) on page 416, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5213.4.5, http://zenodo.org/record/7381477, {"references":["Melichar, L.
