Note. This is the third report of N. (N.) mcgregori for the world and the first report of the species from Iran. Except for the original description, this species has been recorded from C. dactylon in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ( Kamran et al. 2016). Previously, only two species of Neopetrobia have been recorded from Iran: N. (Reckia) samgoriensis ( Reck, 1949) and N. (N.) vediensis ( Bagdasarian, 1959) ( Mahdavi & Asadi, 2023) . There is no difference between the Iranian species and the original description.
