Abstract

Flea beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae, Galerucinae) are important pests of Canola, which the adult feedings on cotyledon cause severe damage to the crop. In this paper, Psylliodes Latreille species collected by sticky or pan traps during 2018–2020 from canola farms of Gilan province, Iran, have been studied and an identification key of the following species, Psylliodes anatolica Gök & Cilbiroglu, 2004; P. chalcomera (Illiger, 1807); P. chrysocephala (Linnaeus, 1758); P. circumdata (Redtenbacher, 1842); P. cuprea (Koch, 1803) and P. persica Allard, 1866 with photos of their habitus and genitalia are provided. Also some taxonomic comments on the species are presented. Psylliodes anatolica is new record for the Iranian fauna.
