Turkish Journal of Entomology 33 (1), 41-62
Abstract: In this study, it was aimed to determine armoured scale insect species in five provinces (Agri, Bitlis, Hakkari, Igdir and Van) of Eastern Anatolia. For this goal Aspidiotinae, Leucaspidinae (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) species were collected from natural and cultural plants in five provinces between 2005 and 2008. Totally 20 species were found and four of them (Diaspidiotus transcaspiensis (Marlatt), Fisanotargionia quadrilobata Kaussari and Balachowsky, Rhizaspidiotus balachowskyi Kozár and Matile-Ferrero, Rhizaspidiotus bivalvatus Goux) are new species records for the Turkish scale insect fauna.
