| Abstract | ||
| Pammene crataegophila Amsel is reported from Iran for the first time. Larvae were collected in the Alamut region, Qazvin Province, feeding on the fruits of hawthorn, Crataegus pontica K.Koch., and causing damage to it. Morphological characters of the species, as well as diagnostic features of both male and female genitalia, are illustrated and discussed with reference to the examined specimens and available sources. A brief review of the biology of the species is also provided. This species has previously been reported on Crataegus species, specifically Crataegus azarolus L. (in Cyprus). However, C. pontica is a new host plant for the species. | ||
