The scale insect genus Puto Signoret (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Putoidae) has a mainly Nearctic and Palaearctic distribution but one species is known from Oriental China and a second from the Palaearctic part of China prior to this study. Here we describe and illustrate the adult female and male of a new species, Puto sinensis Zheng & Wu, sp. nov., from Oriental China. We also redescribe and illustrate the adult female and male of Puto huangshanensis Wu, 2001 and provide diagnostic characters for both species. In addition, an identification key to the Old World species of Puto based on the adult female, and a key to the world adult males of Puto are provided.
绵蚧属（半翅目：蚧总科：绵蚧科）主要分布于新北界和古北界，但在本研究之前，已知一种分布于中国东部，另一种分布于中国古北界地区。在此，我们描述并图示了采自中国东部的一个新物种——中华绵蚧郑 & 吴，新种的雌成虫和雄成虫。我们还重新描述并图示了黄山绵蚧吴，2001的雌成虫和雄成虫，并给出了这两个物种的鉴别特征。此外，还提供了基于雌成虫的绵蚧属旧世界种类检索表以及绵蚧属世界雄成虫检索表。
