Five new species of the armored scale genus Andaspis MacGillivray (Hemiptera, Coccomorpha, Diaspididae) from New Caledonia

Here, we improve our grasp on that biota by describing five new species of armored scale insects in the genus Andaspis: Andaspis brevicornuta sp. n, A. conica sp. n., A. nothofagi sp. n., A. novaecaledoniae sp. n., and A....

Sumario:Abstract. New Caledonia is home to many endemic species of plants and animals. Here, we improve our grasp on that biota by describing five new species of armored scale insects in the genus Andaspis: Andaspis brevicornuta sp. n, A. conica sp. n., A. nothofagi sp. n., A. novaecaledoniae sp. n., and A. ornata sp. n. Each is known exclusively from collections on southern beeches (Nothofagus spp.) in New Caledonia. A key to the species of Andaspis of New Caledonia is provided.
