Macrosteles quadripunctulatus (Kirschbaum, 1868) (Fig 29)

Recorded damage and economic importance in the orchards of Iran: Not recorded.

Recorded damage in the orchards of other parts of the world: It tested positive for stolbur phytoplasma in vineyards (Orenstein et al. 2003; Orsagova et al. 2011).

Recorded distribution in Iran: South of Alborz to Persian Gulf (Mozaffarian & Wilson 2016).

Conclusion: The status of this species as a potential phytoplasma vector needs to be studied in Iran.
