Abstract
A list of 176 species of Coccoidea recorded from Turkey, belonging to 13 families and 84 genus, is presented. This list is taken from the authors collection records and from bibliographical sources. The most numerous families are Diaspididae (93 species), Coccidae (33 species) and Pseudococcidae (22 species). The remaining families have between 1 and 6 species each. Of the 176 species 12 are considered to be endemic. In Turkish orchard systems, 15 species are of sufficient economic importance to require control measures. In addition to the cultivated plants, non-cultivated plants have many scale insect on them because of the zoogeographical situation of Turkey, lying as it does between the Mediterranean, the Irano-Turanian and Euro-Siberian subregions of Palaearctic. This list is unlikely to be complete and further studies are needed.
