E64FBE63FFF7FFC315C2FB37FDE6FD8A.taxon	description	Note. The genus is Afrotropical only. Bourgoin (1989) concluded that the four Muir specimens used to described N. breddini Muir, 1930 (Muir 1930) were label errors and that, so far, Tettigometridae are definitively absent from the neotropics. The recent mention by Aléné et al. (2016) of H. patruelis recently been introduced in the USA is a misinterpretation of Wilson's paper (Wilson 2005), which just refer to a potential pest, but still not yet recorded as present in the United States.	en	Mozaffarian, Fariba, Bourgoin, Thierry, Wilson, Michael R.

E64FBE63FFF0FFC315C2F9FEFC06F81A.taxon	materials_examined	The earliest record of Tettigometridae species from Iran was given by Melichar (1902), who recorded Tettigometra costulata Fieber, 1865 from the southeast of the country. However, much of our current knowledge on tettigrometrids in Iran were provided by the Czech entomologist Jiři Dlabola who collected and recorded many species during his fruitful collaborations with Hayk Mirzayans Insect Museum (HMIM) (Dlabola 1 971, 1972, 1981 & 1984). He also described a new species, T. demavenda Dlabola, 1981. In 1995, seven species of Tettigometridae were listed by Mirzayans in the list of Auchenorrhyncha of Hayk Mirzayans Insect Museum (Mirzayans, 1995). Various faunistic data about Iranian tettigometrids were also provided by Barkhordari et al. (1981), Behdad (1988), Rajabi (1989), Karimzadeh Esfahani et al. (1998), Haghshenas & Khajeali (2000), Lashkari et al. (2009), Mozaffarian & Taghizadeh (2010), Moosavi Mahvelati & Modarres Awal (2011), Moosavi & Sadeghi Nameghi (2012) and Mozaffarian (2014). More recently, in their checklist of Fulgoromorpha of Iran, Mozaffarian & Wilson (2011) listed 14 species. According to the literature review and the examined material, a total of 18 Tettigometridae species are recording from Iran. One endemic new species is described.	en	Mozaffarian, Fariba, Bourgoin, Thierry, Wilson, Michael R.

E64FBE63FFFDFFCD15C2FA18FF4CFEE8.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat. The species was recorded from Transcaucasus, Iran, Afghnistan and Central Asia (Mozaffarian & Wilson 2011). According to the publication and the above examined material, the species is distributed from northwest to south and southeast of Iran (Figure 24) indicating the probable southern borders of the distribution of the species with the lowest latitude. In addition, according to the collecting data with a rather high recorded elevation for the species (2400 m by Dlabola (1984) and 2000 m in the current study) it is expected that the species should be found in the mountains of north and east of Iran as well. The only record in northwest of Iran (Fig. 24) may be connected with the southern records through Zagros mountain in the west of the country, but probably not through the central parts, which contain two big deserts (Dasht-e Lut and Dastht-e Kavir) with low altitude.	en	Mozaffarian, Fariba, Bourgoin, Thierry, Wilson, Michael R.

E64FBE63FFFEFFCC15C2F9CCFC8BFE91.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat. Eastern Europe, Turkey, Caucasus and Iran. Distribution of species in Iran is in the western part of the country (Fig. 25). Accordingly its distribution in Iran corresponds to its eastern and southern limits. The species has been found from 1300 m (Dlabola 1984) to 1711 m altitude (1570 m- 1711 m in the current study). Therefore it is expected that the only record in southwest of the country is connected to the northern records through other parts of Zagros mountain in the west of Iran. The species was recorded as a pest to Papaver somniferum L. (Papaveraceae) in Serbia (Gradojevic 1931).	en	Mozaffarian, Fariba, Bourgoin, Thierry, Wilson, Michael R.

According to Nast (1972), the species is distributed in Northern Africa, Western, Southern, Central and Eastern Europe, Caucasus, Turkey, Central Asia and Afghanistan. These records in northwestern Iran (Fig. 26) are the first ones for the country. However, due to the distribution of the species from north of Africa to central Asia and Afghanistan, it may be present also in central north and northeast of Iran.	en	Mozaffarian, Fariba, Bourgoin, Thierry, Wilson, Michael R.

E64FBE63FFF8FFCA15C2FDF7FD8AFF21.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat. The distribution type of the species is reported as an eremian Iranoturanian (Dlabola 1981). In addition to Iran, the species is recorded from northwestern to northern and northeastern countries of Iran (Ukraine, Transcaucasia, Turkey, Afghnistan and Central Asia (Mozaffarian & Wilson 2011 )). Consequently, its distribution in Iran (Northwest to northeast in fig. 27) appears to be logically in the continuation of the recorded distribution range. However the elevation of the records in Iran is extremely variable as Dlabola (1981) recorded it from 400 m to 3850 m. Examined material are within this limit (1150 m to 2582 m). If some high ability of the species to adapt to various elevations and the consequent climate variations should be hypothesised, existence of cryptic species might also explain these observations. Indeed specimens of T. eremi shows a very high color variation (Figs 10 a – d). Dlabola (1972) recorded the species as a Turanoeremial faunal element which is found in steppes, semi-deserts, steppes and forest steppes. Some of the examined specimens were collected in Quercus woodland and near pastures and mountain close to wheat and alphalpha fields, on Euphorbia, Mentha and Artemisia. The species has also been recorded in semi-steppes areas with Artemisia and Euphorbia, steppes and fields, grassy mountain vegetation, and forest vegetation near the Caspian Sea on Juniperus and from mountain vegetation (Dlabola 1981).	en	Mozaffarian, Fariba, Bourgoin, Thierry, Wilson, Michael R.

E64FBE63FFF9FFCA15C2FEDFFDD9FBDD.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat. Dlabola (1981) mentioned this species as an arboreal-pontomediterranean faunal element which is found in mountains from central Europe to western Siberia. The species has also been recorded from other parts of Europe, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Central and Northern Asia (Mozaffairan & Wilson, 2010), in forest steppes, in steppes with Astragalus, woodland margins, on grasses and mostly in vineyards (Dlabola, 1981, Nickel, 2003). The species is distributed in northern parts of Iran (Fig. 28). Apart from Iran, its distribution in the countries in west, northwest, north and northeast of Iran, suggests the probable existence of the species in eastern part of Alborz Mountain too from northwest to northeast (Fig. 28). Therefore, the only record in the northeast of Iran would be connected to the other known records in western part of Alborz mountain. Nickel (2003) gave the elevation of 150 to 500 m for the records of this species in Germany, however, it is reported here from 2000 m, being in agreement with Dlabola (1981) records from 2000 - 2545 m. Hence Iranian specimens appear to be adapted to the high elevation in Alborz mountain.	en	Mozaffarian, Fariba, Bourgoin, Thierry, Wilson, Michael R.

Nast (1972) mentioned the distribution of the species in the countries in Western and Eastern Europe, central and northern Asia, in the northeast of Iran (Fig. 29). This distribution appears to be the continuation of the extralimited distribution of the species in central Asia. The records of this species in Iran probably indicate the south border of the distribution of the taxon with lowest latitude. Dlabola (1981) recognized the species as an arboreal-pontomediterranean faunal element.	en	Mozaffarian, Fariba, Bourgoin, Thierry, Wilson, Michael R.

North Africa, Southern Europe, Yugoslavia, Transcaucasia, Northern parts of Western Asia, Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia (Mozaffarian & Wilson, 2011). The species has a rather general distribution in Iran (Fig. 30), being in accordance with the rather wide range of distribution of the species in Palaearctic, from north Africa to central Asia. Dlabola (1981, 1971) mentioned this species as an arboreal – pontomediterranean and transeremian faunal element. The species has been recorded from steppes in mountains, on broad leaf plants such as Acer, Quercus, in vineyards and gardens with Citrus, palm and pomegranate and on Tamarix from 220 m to 2000 m elevation in Iran (Dlabola 1981) and from 4 m to 3022 m elevation in this study. The wide range of the recorded elevation for this species, along with its wide geographic distribution in various latitudes are remarkable. Possible occurence of cryptic species among the populations of this taxon or its high ability for adapting to very different environmental biotopes need to be investigated more throughly. The species is also reported as a ‘ pest ‘ on Quercus in Northern and Western Iran (Abaii 2000) but no record was found to confirm any economic damage caused by this species.	en	Mozaffarian, Fariba, Bourgoin, Thierry, Wilson, Michael R.

Southern, Western and Eastern Europe, North parts of Western Asia, Iran, Afghanistan and Central Asia (Mozaffarian & Wilson 2011). The distribution of the species in Iran (Fig. 36) appears to be in the continuation of its distribution from western European countries to, north and northeast of Iran. Dlabola (1981) recognized this species as an arboreal-pontomediterranean faunal element which can be found in forest steppes and steppes with Alhagi, Artemisia, Populus alba and Salim. The examined specimens has also been attracted to a light trap and found on alfalfa and sunflower fields, vinyards and near water with Typha, Mentha sp. and Salix. The examined specimens were collected from 410 m to 2650 m elevation which is a noticeable range. The wide distribution range of the species together with the noticeable morphological variation of the species might suggest hight ability of adapting to various environmental conditions including different elevations. However, the possibility of the existence of cryptic species may be another explanation.	en	Mozaffarian, Fariba, Bourgoin, Thierry, Wilson, Michael R.
