Myzus (Nectarosiphon) persicae (Sulzer, 1776) View in CoL
Apterae display a range of colours, including whitish, pale yellowish-green to mid-green, rose-pink, or red, with a body length ranging from 1.2 to 2.1 mm. In terms of its biology, this species stands out as the most polyphagous aphid globally. It has a heteroecious holocyclic life cycle, migrating to secondary hosts across more than 40 different plant families, and plays a crucial role as a vector for numerous plant viruses ( van Emden & Harrington, 2007). Regarding its distribution, this species is found worldwide ( Blackman & Eastop, 2024). However, it is widely distributed in Iran, but its occurrence on Carthamus is reported only in Fars (Goodarzifar, 2010) and Kermanshah ( Ghahramani Nezhad et al., 2012) provinces.
