The psylloid fauna of Afghanistan is reviewed comprising, 32 identifi ed species, 15 of which are recorded from the country for the fi rst time, including Agonoscena klapperichi sp. nov. (Psyllidae: Rhinocolinae), which is formally described and illustrated. Additional illustrations are provided for Craspedolepta manica Baeva, 1978, Cacopsylla cf. nasuta (Horváth, 1904) and Trioza urticae Linnaeus, 1758. Another 5 species are represented by insuffi cient material and cannot be currently identifi ed. The bulk of the examined material comes from four expeditions by J. Klapperich, O. Jakeš, M. Daniel and E. S. Sugonyaev in the 1950’s and 1960’s. The psylloid fauna of Afghanistan remains poorly known and additional species can be expected. The biogeographical relationships and eco- nomic importance of the Afghan psylloid fauna are briefl y discussed. In addition, a new record of Psyllopsis securicola Loginova, 1963 from Iraq is provided. Key words. Hemiptera, Sternorrhyncha, Psylloidea, taxonomy, distribution, new species, Afghanistan, Central Asia, Palaearctic Region Introduction Jumping plant-lice or psyllids, with some 4,000 described species worldwide, are usually highly host-specifi c plant-sap sucking insects.

  • Ghor and Badghis Provinces—Locust Infestation Assessment
    GHOR AND BADGHIS PROVINCES—LOCUST INFESTATION ASSESSMENT mVAM AFGHANISTAN - Locust Infestation Assessment Bulletin #1 30-31 May KEY FINDINGS The locust infestation affected the crops in Bala Murghab and Qadis districts of Badghis province and Chaghcharan and Dawlat Yar districts of Ghor province this year (2017). Aforementioned districts in Ghor were also affected by locust last year. Compared to last year (2016), the impact of locust infestation this year (2017) is worse and more crops are affected in Dawlat Yar and Qadis districts, remained the same in Bala Murghab district, and had less impact in Chaghcharan district. The locust also had impact on the livelihoods and food security situation in the affected areas. The locust will also have impact on the food availability and prices in the assessed markets. Besides, the farmers will have limited access to the seeds for cultivation next year as the result of the lack of production this year. The main income sources of the people in the assessed districts are agriculture and livestock and the impact of the locust was mainly on those relaying on agriculture and livestock. The main prioritized needs of the affected population include but are not limited to pesticide in order to prevent the crops from locusts, trainings on manual (less or no chemical) locust control methods, financial support, seeds, and other agriculture inputs. Districts in green are affected ASSESSMENT BACKGROUND AND METHODOLOGY by locust and are assessed. Districts in grey are not affect- The locust infestation is a devastating natural disaster that has a negative impact on the crops and ed by locust except Jawand.
