In the summer of 2022, during a survey of the juniper forests of the Hezar Masjed Mountains, the entomological team of the Ferdowsi University of Mashhad (Iran) found a species of the genus Chlorophorus Chevrolat, 1863 close to C. elaeagni Plavilstshikov, 1956. After closer examination it appeared to represent a new species, which is described here as C. ahmadi sp. nov. The new species is a pest of live Juniperus polycarpos K. Koch var. turcomanica (B. Fedtsch) R. P. Adams (Cupressaceae) trees.
