Abstract

The Cosmococcus species (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Lecanodiaspididae) found in China are reviewed. Based on morphological and molecular data, C. albizziae Borchsenius, 1960 syn. nov. and C. euphorbiae Borchsenius, 1959 syn. nov. are placed as junior synonyms of C. erythrinae Borchsenius, 1959. The wax tests of both sexes and the slide-mounted adult female of C. erythrinae Borchsenius are redescribed.
