Notes: In this paper, a new species of Ceroplastes, belonging to the C. floridensis species-group, is described and illustrated based on specimens from Yunnan Province. The mitochondrial COI gene and nuclear 28S gene fragments were used to confirm the validity of the new species. In addition, the variation in the number of dorsal clear areas between members of this species group is discussed. https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5693.1.6
