Notes: Yellow pistachio hard scale, Lepidosaphes pistaciae (Hem.: Coccoidea: Diaspididae) is one of the detrimental pests to pistachio trees. This pest is distributed throughout the pistachio producing regions of Iran. It is a complex species, having distinct genetic variation. The results showed that ISSR markers technique is able to detect the genetic diversity among the yellow pistachio hard scale populations of various commercial pistachio cultivars within the pistachio orchards, in Kerman, Iran.
