Twenty-three species of Diaspididae were determined from 180 samples: Aonidia lauri (Bouché, 1833), Aonidiella aurantii (Maskell, 1879), Aspidiotus hedericola Leonardi 1920, Aspidiotus nerii (Bouché, 1833), Carulaspis juniperi (Bouché, 1851), Carulaspis minima (Signoret, 1869), Chrysomphalus dictyospermi (Morgan, 1889), Comstockaspis perniciosa (Comstock, 1881), Diaspis echinocacti (Bouché, 1833), Diaspidiotus pyri (Lichtenstein, 1881), Diaspidiotus uvae (Comstock, 1881), Epidiaspis leperii (Signoret, 1869), Hemiberlesia cyanophylli (Signoret, 1869), Hemiberlesia lataniae (Signoret, 1869), Lepidosaphes conchiformis (Gmelin, 1790), Lepidosaphes gloverii (Packard, 1869), Leucaspis pusilla Löw, 1883, Melanaspis inopinata (Leonardi, 1913), Unaspis euonymi (Comstock, 1881), Parlatoria oleae (Colvée, 1880), Parlatoria pergandii (Comstock, 1881), Pseudaulacaspis pentagona (Targioni Tozzetti, 1886) and Torosaspis farsianus (Balachowsky & Kaussari, 1955). Among these species, D. uvae and T. farsianus are new records for Turkey.

Bu çalışma, 2011-2013 yılları arasında Adana İli park ve süs bitkileri üzerindeki zararlı kabuklubit türlerinin saptanması amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Yapılan sürvey çalışmalarında farklı konukçu bitkilerden, kabuklubitin üzerinde bulunduğu yaprak, dal ve meyve örnekleri alınarak laboratuvarda incelenmiştir. Toplanan 180 örneğin teşhis edilmesi sonucunda Diaspididae familyasına ait 23 tür saptanmıştır. Bu türler; Aonidia lauri (Bouché, 1833), Aonidiella aurantii (Maskell), Aspidiotus hedericola Leonardi 1920, Aspidiotus nerii (Bouché, 1833), Carulaspis juniperi (Bouché, 1851), Carulaspis minima (Signoret, 1869), Chrysomphalus dictyospermi (Morgan, 1889), Comstockaspis perniciosa (Comstock, 1881), Diaspis echinocacti (Bouché, 1833), Diaspidiotus pyri (Lichtenstein, 1881), Diaspidiotus uvae (Comstock, 1881), Epidiaspis leperii (Signoret, 1869), Hemiberlesia cyanophylli (Signoret, 1869), Hemiberlesia lataniae (Signoret, 1869), Lepidosaphes conchiformis (Gmelin, 1790), Lepidosaphes gloverii (Packard, 1869), Leucaspis pusilla Löw, 1883, Melanaspis inopinata (Leonardi, 1913), Unaspis euonymi (Comstock, 1881), Parlatoria oleae (Colvée, 1880), Parlatoria pergandii (Comstock, 1881), Pseudaulacaspis pentagona (Targioni Tozzetti, 1886) ve Torosaspis farsianus (Balachowsky & Kaussari, 1955).
