Notes: A total of 281 species of scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha) have been recorded in Colombia, South America. New information on Colombian scale insect diversity is presented based on the morphological examination of slide-mounted specimens preserved in museums and newly collected material during field collecting surveys in the Atlantic and Pacific coasts (including Valle del Cauca) of Colombia. Eight species are recorded for the first time in Colombia. https://doi.org/10.12976/jib/2023.37.1.2
