The authors would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Takumasa Kondo, Corporación Colombiana de Investigación Agropecuaria—Agrosavia, Colombia and Dr. Gillian W. Watson, Division of Life Sciences, The Natural History Museum, London, U.K. for reviewing early versions of the manuscript; Dr. Penny J. Gullan, Division of Ecology & Evolution, Research School of Biology, the Australian National University, Acton, A.C.T., Australia, for examination of the P. decorata type specimen, and comparing it with P. aurantii collected recently in Japan and giving us the result; and Dr. Scott A. Schneider, Systematic Entomology Laboratory, Henry A. Wallace Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, USDA Agricultural Research Service, U.S.A., for examination of the P. aurantii type specimen and providing the information and photographs.

N2 - Six Japanese species of the genus Pulvinaria Targioni Tozzetti (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha; Coccidae): P. aurantii Cockerell, 1896, P. hazeae Kuwana, 1902, P. idesiae Kuwana, 1914, P. kuwacola Kuwana, 1907, P. nipponica Lindinger, 1933 and P. photiniae Kuwana, 1914, are redescribed and illustrated based on type specimens and some newly collected adult females. In addition, Pulvinaria decorata Borchsenius, 1957 syn. nov. and P. ornata Froggatt, 1921 (nec Hempel, 1912) syn. nov. are proposed as new junior synonyms of P. aurantii, and Pulvinaria fujisana Kanda, 1960 syn. nov. and P. hydrangeae Steinweden, 1946 syn. nov. are proposed as new junior synonyms of P. kuwacola. Lectotypes are designated for P. idesiae, P. nipponica and P. photiniae from the syntypes of these species and, in the absence of any original material, neotypes are designated for P. hazeae and P. kuwacola, respectively, using specimens collected from the type localities. To facilitate comparisons, a table containing diagnostic morphological character states of the redescribed species and the type species of the genus, P. vitis (Linnaeus, 1758), is provided.
