* Dysmicoccus arachidis Williams

Material examined. INDONESIA, Sumatra I., Bengkulu Province, Kepahiang district, Kabawetan, on Crassocephalum crepidioides (Benth.) S. Moore (Asteraceae) , 600 m a.s.l., 03°34′54.4″ S, 102°35′33″ E, 12.vi.2018, coll. A. Zarkani (AZ80˗81), 6 ♀♀.

Comments. This species is a new country record for Indonesia, and this is the first report of it feeding on C. crepidioides ; Williams (2004) previously recorded the mealybug from India (Tripura) on Arachis hypogaea L. ( Fabaceae ). There is very little information available on D. arachidis .
