More than ۱۰۴ aphid species are living on Rosa spp. in the world. So far, only ۱۴ of them were reported from Iran. In this study, besides the species already living on Rosa in Iran, two aphid taxa, i.e., Maculolachnus sijpkensi Hille Ris Lambers, ۱۹۶۲, and M. submacula (Walker, ۱۸۴۸) (Hem.: Aphididae) living on Rosa beggeriana are reported for the first time from Iran. Biometric data and biological characteristics of these two aphid species are given. An identification key to the apterous viviparous female aphids living on Rosa in Iran is provided.
