Mozaffarian, Fariba, 2018, An Identification key to the species of Auchenorrhyncha of Iranian fauna recorded as pests in orchards and a review on the pest status of the species, Zootaxa 4420 (4), pp. 475-501 : 496

Stictocephala bisonia Kopp et Yonke, 1977

Recorded damage and economic importance in the orchards of Iran: Non significant damage on fruit trees ( Esmaiili 1984; Rajabi 1991).

Recorded damage in the orchards of other parts of the world: Not recorded.

Recorded distribution in Iran: South slope of central Alborz

Conclusion: Both recordsof the species as pest ( Esmaiili 1984 and Rajabi 1991) were under the name “ Ceresa bubalus Fabricius, 1794 ”. These authors noted a lack of significant damage caused by the species suggested there is no necessity of any control method. In addition, the recorded distribution of the species is very limited and the reason of recording the species as ‘pest’ is not clear. Therefore, the pest status of the species needs further study.
