Abstract
Apterous and alate viviparous females of Macrosiphoniella kermanensis sp. nov. living on Artemisia sieberi (Asteraceae) are described from Iran. Also, Coloradoa heinzei (Borner) from Artemisia aucheri (Asteraceae), as a new record in Iran, is redescribed. A key to the apterous viviparous females of Macrosiphoniella del Guercio species living on Artemisia in Iran is given.References
