Abstract

The occurrence in Italy of Amonostherium rorismarinis (Boyer de Fonscolombe), Vryburgia brevicruris (McKenzie) (Pseudococcidae) and Exaeretopus formiceticola Newstead (Coccidae) is reported for the first time. With these additions, the Italian scale insect fauna reaches 396 species. New distributional data are provided for some rarely recorded species, namely Neomargarodes europaeus Goidanich (Margarodidae), Phenacoccus yerushalmi Ben-Dov, Balanococcus kwoni Pellizzari and Danzig (Pseudococcidae), Bambusaspis bambusae (Boisduval, 1869) (Asterolecanidae).
