Abstract: A key to the species of Dysmicoccus, Oracella, and Paradoxococcus of the Gulf State Region is presented. Dysmicoccus radinovskyi Miller and Miller, n. sp., is described and illustrated from the adult female, third-instar female, and second-instar female. Dysmicoccus merrilli (Ferris) is a new synonym of Dysmicoccus boninsis (Kuwana). Dysmicoccus grassii (Leonardi), Dysmicoccus mackenziei Beardsley, and Dysmicoccus neobrevipes Beardsley represent new distribution records.
