ent in Greece up to date (Table 1) (1, 2, 8, 7,
10, 11, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 24, 25). Amongst
these species, Eumyrmococcus corinthiacus
Williams, found in the jaws of queen ants of
the genus Plagiolepis, is the only record of
a myrmecophilous species in Europe (25).
Another species, Ripersiella palestinae, re-
corded by Hambleton (14) in 1979 from lily
bulbs exported from Greece to the USA,
has not been found in Greece since then.
In the present study, three new species,
recorded for the first time in Greece, as well
as some other species that had been previ-
ously recorded in the country were collect-
ed and identified (Table 2). Heliococcus bo-
hemicus Sulc. was collected from grapes of
a heavily infested vineyard in Korinthos. In
the same vineyard, Planococcus citri (Risso)
and P. ficus (Signoret) were collected from
the trunks and grapes. Heterococcus nudus
(Green) and Phenacoccus hordei (Reuter)
were found on various Gramineae plants.
Finally, Pseudococcus longispinus (Targioni
Tozzetti) was found on leaves of Cycas sp.
in an open nursery in Athens, Puto tauricus
(Leonardi) onGramineae leaves and Plano-
