The family Aleyrodidae is composed of tiny insects, which are usually called whiteflies. The Aleyrodidae includes many sucking species that attack cultivated plants, and several species, e.g., Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood), and Dialeurodes citri (Ashmead), are economically important as pests of both crops and of o...

Cacopsylla nasuta (Horváth), which is newly recorded from Iran, is redescribed based on specimens collected on Hippophae rhamnoides. The species is morphologically similar to but distinct from Cacopsylla hippophaes (Foerster). Morphological characters are discussed for separating the two taxa. It is concluded that C. nasuta is restricted to the mou...
