Abstract
A generic diagnosis is presented for the pit scale insects of Sclerosococcus together with descriptions and illustrations of the adult females of 2 new species, S. chilensis and S. tillandsiae. S. chilensis may be separated from other species assigned to the genus by the presence of a complete marginal band of 7-locular pores. S. tillandsiae differs by possessing a marginal band of 7-locular pores restricted to the cephalothorax in combination with the lack of heavy sclerotization on the apical abdominal segments. A key to differentiate the species and a discussion of species affinities are provided.
