| dc.description.abstract | En el presente trabajo se registra la composición taxonómica de Coccoidea en Cuba, para lo cual se revisaron las Colecciones Zoológicas del Instituto de Ecología y Sistemática (CZACC), las publicaciones sobre cocoideos y ScaleNet (base de datos de los insectos escama del mundo). La fauna de cocoideos de Cuba está formada por 176 especies agrupadas en 95 géneros, 14 familias y 11 especies endémicas. Diaspididae resultó la familia de mayor riqueza de especies, seguida de Pseudococcidae y Coccidae. Akermes Cockerell, representa un nuevo género de Coccidae para el país. Lecanodiaspis prosopidis (Maskell) (Lecanodiaspididae) se incorpora a esta lista de especies. El 63, 2% de las especies son polífagas; el 73,2% son cosmopolitas; el 48% corresponde a especies introducidas, el 30% a especies nativas y el 22 % presentaron distribución original desconocida. The goal of this paper was compiling and updating the taxonomic composition of Coccoidea in Cuba; in order to accomplish this, data was gathered from the Zoological Collection of the Institute of Ecology and Systematics (CZACC), Cuba, as well as from papers on Cuban scale insects and information from the world scale insect database, ScaleNet. The fauna of scale insects of Cuba is composed of 176 species, distributed in 95 genera and14 families, with 11 endemic species. The Diaspididae was the most species-rich family, followed by Pseudococcidae and Coccidae. Akermes Cockerell was a new genus record of Coccidae for this country. Lecanodiaspis prosopidis (Maskell) (Lecanodiaspididae) is added to the species list of Cuban scale insects. 63. 2% of species are polyphagous, 46% areoligophagous, and 20.12% are monophagous; 73. 2% are cosmopolitan; 48% are introduced species, 30% are native species and 22% have an original and unknown distribution. | es_ES |
