Moghaddam, M., Hatami, B., Zibaii, K., & Sabzalian, M.R. 2004 [Report of Phenacoccus solani (Hom.: Coccoidea: Pseudococcidae) from Iran.]. Journal of Entomological Society of Iran 24(1): 135-136.

Notes: Mealybug specimens, collected from Esfahan and Shiraz, Iran, were studied and identified as Phenacoccus solani. Adult females are oval-shaped covered by white, powdery waxes with short marginal filaments. P. solani was isolated from the lower leaves and roots of host plants (i.e. Festuca sp. and Chrysanthemum morifolium [Dendranthema morifolium]). It is polyphagous with a broad host spectrum. This species has been reported from the Nearctic, Ethiopian, Neotropical, Australian and Pacific zoogeographical regions. P. solani is newly reported from Iran.
