Abstract

An updated checklist of the scale insects recorded from French Guiana (French overseas department) is given. This list has been collated from data from 6 different sources: ScaleNet, the EPPO Global Database, the Catalogue des insectes ravageurs des cultures en Guyane Française (Remillet, 1988), MNHN in Paris, LSV in Montpellier and a survey carried out by Direction de l'Alimentation, de l'Agriculture et de la Forêt de Guyane, Service de l'Alimentation (DAAF‐SALIM). Previously, 29 species were recorded from French Guiana by ScaleNet, but the updated list presented in this paper includes a total of 64 species. The 35 species added belong to 7 families: 1 Cerococcidae, 9 Coccidae, 14 Diaspididae, 1 Eriococcidae, 1 Monophlebidae, 2 Ortheziidae and 7 Pseudococcidae.
