Abstract: The psylloid fauna of Afghanistan is reviewed comprising, 32 identified
species, 15 of which are recorded from the country for the first time,
including Agonoscena klapperichi sp. nov. (Psyllidae: Rhinocolinae), which is
formally described and illustrated. Additional illustrations are provided for
Craspedolepta manica Baeva, 1978, Cacopsylla cf. nasuta (Horváth, 1904) and
Trioza urticae Linnaeus, 1758. Another 5 species are represented by
insufficient material and cannot be currently identified. The bulk of the
examined material comes from four expeditions by J. Klapperich, O. Jakeš, M.
Daniel and E. S. Sugonyaev in the 1950’s and 1960’s. The psylloid fauna of
Afghanistan remains poorly known and additional species can be expected. The
biogeographical relationships and economic importance of the Afghan psylloid
fauna are briefly discussed. In addition, a new record of Psyllopsis securicola
Loginova, 1963 from Iraq is provided.
