Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: The common bed bugs, Cimex lectularius, and tropical bed bugs, Cimex hemipterus are the primary species of public health importance in the family Cimicidae. This study aimed to determine the morphometric criteria and prevalent species of bed bugs in eastern Iran.
UNASSIGNED: Bed bugs were collected from March 2021 to June 2022 from infested residential buildings and apartments in eastern Iran, including North Khorasan, Khorasan Razavi, and Sistan and Baluchistan Provinces. The morphological and morphometrical characteristics were used to identify collected bed bugs at inter- and intra-specific levels.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 34 isolates comprising 127 adult bed bugs were collected from Bojnord, Mashhad, Neishabur, Taibad, Sabzevar, Kashmer, Zahedan, Saravan, Rask, Pishin and Chabahar. Of these, 33 isolates (n=124) were found to be tropical bed bugs, C. hemipterus, and one population (n=3) was identified as C. lectularius. The index pronotal width/length ratio was calculated from 2.72 to 2.94 and 1.98 to 2.47 for C. lectularius and C. hemipterus, respectively. The length/width ratio of the hind femur was 3.365 in C. hemipterus and 4.267 in C. lectularius. The ratio of length/width of the third femur (F3 l/w) between populations of C. hemipterus was different, and this difference was statistically significant (P< 0.05).
UNASSIGNED: The results of this study indicated that C. hemipterus was the dominant bed bug species in the east of Iran and provided more morphometric criteria of C. hemipterus for researchers to identify the species and determine the intraspecific variations in the present and future.

摘要：
■常见的臭虫，Cimexlectularius，和热带臭虫，Cimex半翅目是Cimicidae科中具有公共卫生重要性的主要物种。这项研究旨在确定伊朗东部臭虫的形态标准和流行种类。
■从2021年3月至2022年6月，从伊朗东部出没的住宅楼和公寓中收集了臭虫，包括北霍拉桑,KhorasanRazavi,以及锡斯坦和俾路支省。形态和形态计量学特征用于鉴定在种间和种内水平上收集的臭虫。
■从Bojnord收集了总共34个分离株，包括127个成年臭虫，马什哈德,Neishabur,Taibad,Sabzevar,Kashmer,Zahedan,Saravan,Rask,Pishin和Chabahar.其中,发现33个分离株(n=124)是热带臭虫，C.半翅目，一个种群（n=3）被鉴定为C.lectularius。对于C.lectularius和C.hemipterus，指数胸廓宽度/长度比从2.72到2.94和1.98到2.47计算，分别。后股骨的长宽比在C.hempterus为3.365，在C.lectularius为4.267。C.半翅目种群之间第三股骨的长/宽之比（F3l/w）不同，差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。
■这项研究的结果表明，C.hemipterus是伊朗东部的优势臭虫物种，并为研究人员提供了更多的C.hemipterus形态标准，以鉴定该物种并确定当前和未来的种内变异。
