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 : 495

Pagiphora annulata (Brullé, 1832) ( Figs 65 )

Recorded damage and economic importance in the orchards of Iran: Not recorded.

Recorded damage in the orchards of other parts of the world: A pest with considerable damage in fruit trees in Bulgaria due to the oviposition ( Arabadzhiev 1970).

Distribution in Iran: Southwest.

Conclusion: Oviposition of the females of this family may cause damage to the fruit on the apical parts of the branches. However, the damage may be significant in large populations of the species and there isn’t any record of emerging noticeable populations of this species in Iran.
