| Summary: | This study adds seven species to the scale insect species list of Iceland, bringing the total number of recorded species to 15. Of these, 10 species can be considered as a part of the country checklist with breeding populations in Iceland (seven species can be found in outdoor conditions and three live indoors). An additional five species were recorded on imported fruits and most probably are not established in Iceland. A new species, Trionymus icelandensis Gerő & Szita, sp. nov. (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is described from outdoor habitats, and the adult female is illustrated. |
