The pink hibiscus mealybug (PHM), Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) and the associated hymenopterous parasitoid, Anagyrus kamali Moursi, 1948 (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), are reported for the first time in Brazil. Specimens of the PHM were collected on nine hosts plants, Annona muricata L. (Anonnaceae), Glycine max (L.) Merr. (Fabaceae), Centrolobium paraensis Tul. (Fabaceae), Inga edulis Mart. (Fabaceae), Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. (Malvaceae), Psidium guajava L. (Myrtaceae), Averrhoa carambola L. (Oxalidaceae), Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck (Rutaceae) and Solanum lycopersicum L. (Solanaceae), in four municipalities in the north-northeast of the state of Roraima. The plants C. paraensis, I. edulis and C. sinensis are recorded for the first time as a hosts for PHM. Characteristic injuries observed on the host plants infested by PHM and suggestions for its management are presented.
粉蚧科的粉红扶桑粉蚧（Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green)）及其相关的膜翅目寄生蜂——1948年发现的卡氏食蚧蚜小蜂（Anagyrus kamali Moursi）（膜翅目：跳小蜂科），首次在巴西被报道。在罗赖马州东北偏北地区的4个市，从9种寄主植物上采集到了粉红扶桑粉蚧标本，这些寄主植物分别是：番荔枝科的刺果番荔枝（Annona muricata L.）、豆科的大豆（Glycine max (L.) Merr.）、豆科的巴西围涎树（Centrolobium paraensis Tul.）、豆科的可食猴欢喜（Inga edulis Mart.）、锦葵科的朱槿（Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L.）、桃金娘科的番石榴（Psidium guajava L.）、酢浆草科的阳桃（Averrhoa carambola L.）、芸香科的甜橙（Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck）以及茄科的番茄（Solanum lycopersicum L.）。巴西围涎树、可食猴欢喜和甜橙这几种植物首次被记录为粉红扶桑粉蚧的寄主。文中还介绍了粉红扶桑粉蚧侵害寄主植物时观察到的典型危害症状及其防治建议。
