Abstract

Ferrisia dasylirii (Cockerell) and Planococcus minor (Maskell) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) were recorded for the first time infesting rosettes of Coffea canephora Pierre ex Froehner (Rubiaceae) in the state of Rondônia, Brazil. Ferrisia dasylirii was observed in coffee crops in the municipalities of Rolim de Moura and Nova Brasilândia d'Oeste, and P. minor only in Rolim de Moura. Ferrisia dasylirii is reported for the first time on a host plant of the Rubiaceae family.
