Abstract

Fauna of aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididea) of Saman Region in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province has been investigated during 2016-2017. The specimens were collected directly from plants by a fine brush or by beating the plants on a white tray and then preserved in Eppendorf tubes (2 ml) containing 75% alcohol. The collected specimens were mounted on slides and identified based on morphological characters. Totally 38 species in 22 genera of family, Aphididae, were identified as follows. New records for Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province are marked by an asterisk.
