Abstract

A survey on scale insect fauna has been carried out during May 1995 in natural environments of North-Eastern Sardinia. A total of 46 species of scale insects were collected: 21 were not yet recorded in the island and 4 (Acanthococcus acutus (Goux), Eulecanium ericae (Balachowsky) comb.n., Rhizopulvinaria maritima Canard, Aonidia mediterranea (Lindinger)) are new for the Italian fauna. A new species (Dysmicoccus kozari sp. n.) is described and illustrated. A list of the 96 species recorded in Sardinia is reported together with a zoogeographical analysis of the scale insects of the island.
