Abstract

This work presents results of a research of samples of mealy bugs, collected following a visual study of tropical crops of the Nikitsky Botanical Gardens in 2020. The species were identified as Ovaticoccus agavium (Douglas, 1888) (Hemiptera: Sternorryncha: Coccoidea: Eriococcidae: Ovaticoccus). As a result of the research, an original illustrative photo material was collected, analyzing the morphological features of the female of the invasive species O. agavium ; a comparative definitive table of morphological features was prepared, allowing to distinguish O. agavium from similar species.

Keywords
