New records of Coccoidea fauna from the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus were Planchonia arabidis Signoret, insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Asterolecaniidae);, Eriococcus greeni Newstead insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Eriococcidae);, Acanthopulvinaria orientalis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Nasonov);, Coccus pseudomagnoliarum insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Kuwana);, Ceroplastes sinensis Del-Guercio, Lecanopsis turcica insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Bodenheimer);, Luzulaspis frontalis Green, Lichtensia viburni Signoret, Parthenolecanium corni insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Bouché);, Rhizopulvinaria artemisiae insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Signoret);, insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Coccidae);, Duplachionaspis berlesii insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Leonardi);, Leucaspis pini insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Harting);, Melanaspis inopinata insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Leonardi);, Parlatoreopsis longispina insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Newstead);, Prodiaspis tamaricicola insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Malenotti);, Pseudaulacaspis pentagona Targioni-Tozzetti insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Diaspididae);, Palaeococcus fuscipennis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Burmeister); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Margarodidae);, Coccidohystrix artemisiae insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Kiritchenko);, and Pseudococcus viburni insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Signoret); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Pseudococcidae);. The populations of Ceroplastes rusci insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Linnaeus);, Coccus hesperidum Linnaeus, and C. pseudomagnoliarum insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Kuwana); were found to increase postharvesting. Aonidiella aurantii insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Maskell); on citrus, and Leucaspis riccae Targioni-Tozzetti, Parlatoria oleae insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Colvee);, and Pollinia pollini insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(A.
