Remarks. We found H. palmae on the twigs of ‘Lorena’ and ‘Booth 8’ cultivars. Originally described from Jamaica and reported from many tropical countries on numerous host plants (Williams and Watson 1988a). This diaspidid species has been considered a pest of oil palm and banana in Malaysia where it can be found in large numbers on the leaves of these plants (Borchsenius 1966).
