Abstract
A new species of the genus Obtusicauda Soliman, 1927 (Hemiptera: Aphididae: Aphidinae: Macrosiphini) is described and illustrated from North-Khorasan province, Iran: Obtusicauda iranica sp. n. The species is described based on apterous viviparous females, an alate viviparous female and oviparous females found living on the terminal parts of shoots of Artemisia sieberi, A. kopetdaghensis, A. scoparia and Artemisia sp. (Asteraceae). The new species is morphologically most similar to Obtusicauda dolychosiphon (Umarov, 1964). This holocyclic aphid is not typically attended by ants.http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:AE524BA1-B04C-40EF-A818-724F6AA48669
