  • Notes: The species Coccophagus shillongensis was described in 1989 by Hayat and Singh (Colemania, 5, 29–34, 1989) from India. There were no records about the host insect species and its host plant. Our record from Greece is the first record of this species outside of India and from Europe. The host record is also new, and the morphological variation was considerably informative, so we present a re-description of the species, including illustrations.
