Abstract

Two new species of the subgenus Erythraeus are described from western Iran: Erythraeus (Erythraeus) populi sp. nov.from pear lace bug, Stephanitis pyri F. (Heteroptera: Tingidae), and E. (E.) chrysoperlae sp. nov. from a green lacewing,Chrysoperla kolthoffi (Navas) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae). A key to the Iranian larval species of the subgenus Erythraeus (Erythraeus) is given, as is data on leg setae and measurements for all 44 species of the subgenus.
