Doubling the known endemic species diversity of New Caledonian armored scale insects (Hemiptera, Diaspididae)

Abstract. Fourteen species of armored scale insects are known only from New Caledonia. Here, the adult female of fourteen more are described: Agrophaspisansevataesp. n., Aonidiamontikoghissp. n., Aonidiapaucasp. n., Fernaldannawhitasp. n., Furcaspiscostulariaesp. n., Greeniellacasuarinaesp. n., Gree...

We note that the diversity of New Caledonian armored scale insects appears to have resulted more from trans-oceanic dispersal than in situ speciation.
