Description
Chloropsalta smaragdula Haupt, 1920 (Figs 62 and 70)
Recorded damage and economic importance in the orchards of Iran: Considering two species (Cicadatra alhageos and Chloropsalta ochreata) as “grape cicadas" in Iran, Chloropsalta smaragdula was introduced as the third species of grape cicada by Aghagoli Marzijarani et al. (2013). There isn’t any record on the injury level caused by this species.
Recorded damage in the orchards of other parts of the world: Not recorded.
Recorded distribution in Iran: Generally distributed.
Conclusion: Due to the extreme similarity of the habitus of the three cicadas in vineyards of Iran (Cicadatra alhageos, Chloropsalta ochreata and Chloropsalta smaragdula), it is quite necessary to determine the damage level caused by the species after the correct identification.
