Abstract
During a faunistic survey of the jumping plant-lice in the Tehran province of Iran in spring 2016, the blackberry psyllid, Phylloplecta trisignata (Löw, 1886), was collected on Rubus sp. (Rosales: Rosaceae). This is the first record of the species and the genus Phylloplecta for Iran, expanding the known distributional range of the species considerably eastwards.
