This paper recorded the presence of
Phenacoccus madeirensis Green as a new record of
mealybug in Egypt. Genus Phenacoccus is
represented by 5 species in Egypt. The official list
of scale insects and mealybugs listed P. gypsophilae
Hall, P. halli Ezzat and P. pyramidensis Ezzat
(Mohamed and Ghabbour, 2008); Abd-Rabou added
two new species P. parvus Morrison and P.
solenopsis Tinsley (Abd-Rabou et al., 2010).
Phenacoccus madeirensis was the sixth species
added to the fauna.
