Abstract

Eurycoccus cuniculorum sp. n. and E. tamariscus sp. n., are described from Pakistan. They were collected on species of Tamarix during a survey of insect pests by the Commonwealth Institute of Biological Control for possible natural enemies of Tamarix spp. that have become undesirable plants in the USA. The mealybugs live under the bark or in tunnels caused by other organisms and both species have unusual characters in the positions of the thoracic spiracles.
