Main Article Content
Abstract
Scale insects are considered to be among the principal pests of orchids; however, in Cuba, little is known about these insects on orchids. A list of the scale insects found on orchids and another ornamental plants in the Soroa orchid garden, Pinar del Río, Province in Cuba is presented. Samples were taken from orchids and other ornamental plants in orchid nurseries. There were found seventeen species of scale insects belonging to 13 genera and five families: Asterolecaniidae, Coccidae, Diaspididae, Ortheziidae, and Pseudococcidae. In addition, host plants of the scale insect species were determined, resulting in several new host plant records for the various species.
