Abstract

This paper deals with the scale insects Pulvinaria floccifera (Westwood, 1870), Pulvinaria hydrangeae Steinweden, 1946 and Pulvinaria vitis (Linnaeus, 1758) which were monitored during a four year faunistic investigation (2005–2008) of the genus Pulvinaria Targioni Tozzetti, 1866 in Croatia. P. hydrangeae is a newly recorded species in Croatia. Distribution (according to the UTM coordinate system) and host plants of these species in Croatia are reported. Some morphological characteristics useful to separate these three species are also given.
