Notes: Seven species of scale insects, including an eriococcid and six pseudococcids, were recorded in Germany for the first time. A new species, Spinococcus kozari sp. nov., was found on Geranium sanguineum, whereas all other species feed on grasses, mainly under the leaf sheaths. Two species, Phenacoccus hordei and Trionymus phalaridis [Pseudococcus phalaridis], were already collected during the fifties but identified only now. Considering the seven species recorded for the first time and the new species, the number of outdoor German scale insect species has risen to 145.
