Abstract

The soft scale insect genus Marsipococcus Cockerell & Bueker, 1930 (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Coccidae) is reported for the first time from China; a new species, Marsipococcus brideliae sp. n., is described and illustrated from Guizhou Province on Bridelia retusa (Phyllanthaceae). A key is given to distinguish all four species in the genus.
