Abstract

The armored scale insect Hemiberlesia lataniae (Signoret, 1869) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) is reported for the first time in Central Brazil infesting Bauhinia x blakeana (Fabaceae) trees. Infestations of this armored scale insect were observed on the leaves of four trees located in the urban perimeter of Alto Paraíso de Goiás, Goiás. This work reinforces the polyphagous nature of the species, expanding its geographic distribution in Brazil and increasing the number of known hosts.
