Recorded damage and economic importance in the orchards of Iran: Not recorded.
Recorded damage in the orchards of other parts of the world: An occasional pest on citrus in Yugoslavia, Italy and Spain. A potentional pest in olive orchards in Turkey. A vector of ' Ca. Phytoplasma prunorum' (European stone fruit yellow phytoplasma), a potential career of almond witches’ broom phytoplasma (AlmWB) and tested positive to apricot chlorotic leaf roll (ACLR) and phytoplasma in Lebanon (Reuther 1989; Bozbuga & Elekcioglu 2008; Dakhil et al., 2011; U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal Plant Health Inspection Service, Plant Protection and Quarantine 2012).
Recorded distribution in Iran: West and northeast (Mozaffarian & Wilson 2016).
Conclusion: The vector status of this species in Iran needs further study.
