Abstract

In this study, we report Diplolepis eglanteriae (Hartig, 1840), Diplolepis fructuum (Rübsaamen, 1895), Diplolepis mayri (Schlechtendal), 1877, Diplolepis rosae (L., 1758) and Diplolepis spinosissimae (Giraud), 1859 on Rosa canina in the Inland Western Anatolian, Turkey. These species are the first time recorded from this region. We provide details on geographical distribution and phenology. We also discuss their industrial effects on Rosa industry.
