Abstract
The occurrence of the scale insect family Conchaspididae (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha) in the Philippines is reported for the first time, based on a collection of false armored scale insects from Hoya landgrantensis Kloppenburg et al. (Apocynaceae), and a few other wax plants that are endemic to the Philippines. The minute scale insects belong to the genus Conchaspis Cockerell, and are identified as Conchaspis angraeci Cockerell, the only widespread species in this family. The occurrence of C. angraeci on H. cagayanensis, H. landgrantensis, and H. pimenteliana also constitute new host records and the potential of this insect to become a pest of domesticated ornamental Hoya is also noted, should their population reach levels injurious to plants.
