A new species, Kermicus huizhouensis Wu & Huang sp. n. (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Pseudococcidae), is described and illustrated based on the adult female, second instar female and first-instar nymph. It was collected at Qianfeng village, Huiyang District, Huizhou City, Guangdong Province, P. R. China, inside the stem of bamboo Bambusa rigida (Poaceae) and attended by the ant Tetraponera binghami (Forel) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). It differs from K. wroughtoni Newstead, 1897 by the adult female lacking multilocular disc pores in the marginal region of the venter, and both the adult female and first-instar nymph having the anal ring bearing 16–20 setae. Keys to genera of legless mealybugs on bamboo based on adult females, and the immature stages of Kermicus, are provided.

A New Species

A new species, Neogreenia lonicera Wu & Nan, is described and illustrated based on the adult female, second-instarfemale and first-instar nymph. This new species was collected at Helan Mountain, Inner Mongolia, China, in bark crevicesof Lonicera microphylla (Caprifoliaceae). A key is provided to separate the five species now known in NeogreeniaMacGillivray. A cladistic analysis of morphological data from adult females and first-instar nymphs of 28 archaeococcoidgenera has Neogreenia in a clade with Jansenus Foldi and Neosteingelia Morrison and usually also with KuwaniaCockerell, and thus Neogreenia should be placed in the family Kuwaniidae. A key to distinguish the adult females of the four genera of the Kuwaniidae is provided.

The mealybug genus Antonina Signoret (Coccoidea: Pseudococcidae) in China is reviewed and 12 species are recognized. Of these, Antonina nanlingensis Wu & Lu sp. nov. is a new species, collected from Ruyuan county, Guangdong Province, under the leaf sheaths of Indocalamus longianritus (Poaceae). The adult female and first- and second-instar nymphs of A. nanlingensis are described and illustrated. Additionally, A. sandakanae Williams is recorded from China for the first time, but all previous records of A. zonata Green from China are believed to be misidentifications of A. milleri Williams. A key to the adult females of Antonina species from China is included, as are keys to the first- and second-instar nymphs where these stages are known.

The adult female and first-instar nymph of a new species of soft scale insect, Hemilecanium mangiferae Kondo & Williams sp. nov., are described and illustrated. This species was collected on the trunk and branches of mango, Mangifera indica L., in Nakhon Pathom and Sukhothai Provinces, Thailand. The insect can cause serious damage by depleting the host sap and by producing large amounts of honeydew on which sooty molds grow. Damage was severe on the local mango cultivar, Nam DokMai. Also included are a revised diagnosis of the genus, a revised key to the adult females of the five species currently placed in the genus, and a key to the known firstinstar nymphs.La hembra adulta y la ninfa del primer estadio de una nueva especie de escama blanda, Hemilecanium mangiferae Kondo & Williams sp. nov., se describe e ilustra. Esta especie fue colectada en el tronco y ramas del mango: Mangifera indica L. en las provincias de Nakhon Pathom y Sukhothai, Tailandia. Este insecto puede causar daños severos al mango deprivando el árbol de savia, y produciendo gran cantidad de melado cual induce el crecimiento de fumaginas. El daño fue más severo en un cultivar local conocido como Nam Dokmai. Tambien se incluyen una diagnosis revisada para el género, una clave revisada para las hembras adultas de las cinco especies actualmente incluidas en el género, más una clave para las ninfas del primer estadio conocidas.

The adult female and male of Scaptococcus occultans sp. n. (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Pseudococcidae), a new mealybug species from the southwestern United States, are described and illustrated, as well as the male of S. milleri McKenzie. Females of the new species can be recognized by their unmodified prothoracic legs, anal ring with two rows of cellular pores, and presence of a circulus; the adult female is further characterized by the presence of bands across the thoracic and abdominal segments containing numerous dorsal modified oral collar tubular ducts (with the inner half of the outer duct sclerotized), quinquelocular pores and multilocular pores. The adult male of the new species differs from that of S. milleri by having unmodified prothoracic femora, small spine-like prothoracic claw denticles, fewer dorsal and ventral setae on abdominal segments II–V, and no sclerotized abdominal tergites laterally on the abdomen. The generic description of Scaptococcus is revised to include the new species, and an updated key to the adult females, diagnostic notes for the female nymphal instars, and updated distribution and host data for all the three species are provided.
