Barberry (Berberis vulgaris L.) belonging to the Berberidaceae family, is widely cultivated in South Khorasan Province, Iran. This province is recognized as the primary source of barberry globally, accounting for over 95% of the world's supply. Iran is one of the largest exporters of barberry in the world. Barberry is a deciduous shrub that plays an important role in Iranian cuisine and has many health advantages. In 2024, in surveys carried out in Birjand County focusing on arthropods linked to barberry, samples of a mealybug species were collected from the leaves and branches of seedless barberry shrubs, which were identified as Peliococcus chersonensis (Kiritshenko, 1936) (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Pseudococcidae). Mealybugs are regarded as pests due to their feeding on the sap of greenhouse plants, houseplants, and subtropical trees, and are also vectors of plant diseases. This pest is reported for the first time from Iran on seedless barberry shrubs in South Khorasan Province and Birjand County.
