P. O. Box 141874 Gainesville, FL 32614-1874 USA http://centerforsystematicentomology.org/ Insecta Mundi is a journal primarily devoted to insect systematics, but articles can be published on any non-marine arthropod. Topics considered for publication include systematics, taxonomy, nomenclature, checklists, faunal works, and natural history. Insecta Mundi will not consider works in the applied sciences (i.e. medical entomology, pest control research, etc.), and no longer publishes book reviews or editorials. Insecta Mundi publishes original research or discoveries in an inexpensive and timely manner, distributing them free via open access on the internet on the date of publication. Insecta Mundi is referenced or abstracted by several sources including the Zoological Record, CAB Ab- stracts, etc. Insecta Mundi is published irregularly throughout the year, with completed manuscripts assigned an individual number. Manuscripts must be peer reviewed prior to submission, after which they are reviewed by the editorial board to ensure quality. One author of each submitted manuscript must be a current member of the Center for Systematic Entomology. Chief Editor: Paul E. Skelley, e-mail: [email protected] Head Layout Editor: Eugenio H.

En el Parque Natural Topes de Collantes, Alturas de Trinidad, macizo montañoso de Guamuhaya, provincia de Sancti Spíritus, Cuba, se identifi caron 30 especies de insectos escama (= cocoideos) agrupadas en 21 géneros, cuatro familias y una especie endémica. Los ejemplares fueron depositados en Colecciones Zoológicas del Instituto de Ecología y Sistemática (CZACC), Cuba. Se revisaron las publicaciones y ScaleNet (base de datos de los insectos escama del mundo). Se registraron 12 especies por primera vez para el macizo montañoso de Guamuhaya y 10 para alguna de las localidades. El 82% de las especies fueron polífagas, el 11% oligófagas y el 7% monófagas. El 57% correspondió a especies introducidas, el 43% a nativas; el 79% a cosmopolitas o de amplia distribución. Se determinaron 30 especies y 21 familias de plantas hospedantes, de las cuales 23 especies constituyeron nuevos hospedantes para 19 especies y 11 familias botánicas para 10 insectos escama. Se encontraron diferencias signifi - cativas en el reparto de cocoideos entre los portes de las plantas, las familias botánicas y las formaciones vegetales. Se realizó una representación cartográfi ca de la distribución de las especies en las localidades de recolección sobre un mapa a escala de 1:250000, utilizando el programa MapInfo Professional Versión 4.5.

At Topes de Collantes Natural Park, Alturas de Trinidad, in the mountains of Guamuhaya province of Sancti Spiritus, Cuba, 30 species of scale insects belonging to 21 genera, four families and an endemic species were identifi ed. Specimens were deposited at the insect zoological collection of the Ecology and Systematics Insti- tute (CZACC), Cuba. A literature review was carried out and the world data base on scale insects, ScaleNet was consulted. A cartographic map indicating the collecting sites at the scale of 1: 250,000 was created using MapInfo Professional Version 4.5 program. Twelve species are recorded for the fi rst time for the mountains of Guamuhaya and further 10 species are recorded for other locations. 82% of the species were polyphagous, 11% were oligophagous and 7% were monophagous. 57% were introduced species, 43% were native and 79% are cosmopolitan or widely distributed species. 30 species and 21 families of host plants were identifi ed, of which 23 plant species were new host plant records for 19 scale insect species, and
