Brazil has the greatest insect diversity in the world; however, little is known about its scale insect species (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha). Mealybugs (Pseudococcidae) have been found in at least 50% of persimmon orchards Diospyros kaki L. in the southern part of the country. In this study three new mealybug species on persimmon trees located in the Serra Gaúcha Region, RS, Brazil, namely, Anisococcus granarae Pacheco da Silva & Kaydan, sp. n., Ferrisia kaki Kaydan & Pacheco da Silva, sp. n. and Pseudococcus rosangelae Pacheco da Silva & Kaydan, sp. n. are described. In addition, an identification key for the genera occurring on fruit orchards and vineyards in Brazil is provided, together with illustrations and molecular data for the new species.
巴西拥有世界上最为丰富的昆虫多样性;然而,对于其介壳虫物种(半翅目:蚧亚目)却知之甚少。在该国南部至少50%的柿树(柿属柿树)果园中发现了粉蚧(粉蚧科)。在本研究中,描述了位于巴西南里奥格兰德州高乔山脉地区柿树上的3个粉蚧新物种,即格拉纳拉异球粉蚧(Anisococcus granarae Pacheco da Silva & Kaydan, sp. n.)、柿费氏粉蚧(Ferrisia kaki Kaydan & Pacheco da Silva, sp. n.)和罗桑热拉伪粉蚧(Pseudococcus rosangelae Pacheco da Silva & Kaydan, sp. n.)。此外,还提供了巴西果园和葡萄园中的属的鉴定检索表,以及新物种的插图和分子数据。
