Abstract

The soft scale insect Inglisia vitrea Cockerell is transferred to the genus Pseudokermes as P. vitreus (Cockerell) comb. nov. The adult female is redescribed and illustrated. A lectotype is designated based on newly slide-mounted dry type material. New host-plant records and an updated geographical distribution for P. vitreus are given. Pseudokermes correntinus Granara de Willink is recognized as syn. nov. of I. vitrea.
