Abstract: In our survey on the occurrence of scale insects in Switzerland 26 species were found, 9 of them being new for her fauna. Some of the new species are well-known, important pests of ornamental plants, e.g., Pseudococcus affinis, P. calceolariae, Acut-aspis perseae and Gymnaspis aechmeae. The eriococcid Greenisca erwini Kozár sp. n., however, is a species new for science. With the new data, the total number of scale insect species found in Switzerland so far increased to 130. This indicates that the Swiss fauna still needs further intensive studies.
