Abstract
The present investigation carried out a survey of soft scales belonging to the
genus Ceroplastes Gray associated with Duranta erecta var. lemon L. for ornamental use in Paraná city (Entre Ríos, Argentina). These insects damage
the growth of plants, can cause their decay and affect their ornamental value.
Through the analysis of microscope slides, the species Ceroplastes grandis
Hempel (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Coccidae) was identified in all the plants
surveyed. The slides were storedin the Coccomorpha Collection Instituto
Fundación Miguel Lillo –IFML- (Tucumán, Argentina). The association between
C. grandis and plants of D. erecta var. lemon is reported for the first time in
Argentina.
