Palmicultor palmarum (Ehrhorn), a species of pseudococcid found mainly on coconut in Micronesia and Hawaii, is recorded for the first time from the Bahamas. Planococcus lilacinus (Ckll.) is discussed from Guyana, the first record for the New World, and Pseudococcus microadonidum Beardsley is recorded from the Seychelles causing damage to coconut.
