Notes: This article presents the identification of mealybugs on the roots of Heliconia sp., Lagenaria sp., and Zea mays L. from Bali, Indonesia, using a morphological method based on determination keys by Williams (2004) and a molecular method based on the MtCOI gene. The findings of this study suggested that the species observed on all three host plants was D. brevipes. http://doi.org/10.22146/jtbb.13563
