Abstract. A new species, Antonina kazasae sp. nov. (Pseudococcidae), is described and illustrated based on specimens collected in southern Vietnam (Cat Tien National Park). Additionally, fourteen other species from the families Coccidae, Margarodidae, and Pseudococcidae are recorded for the first time from various countries of Indochina (Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam).
Key words: scale insects, soft scales, mealybugs, giant scales, morphology, taxonomy, new records, new species
