A new species of the genus Puto Signoret (Hemiptera, Coccomorpha, Putoidae) from Tibet in China

Putoidae (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha) is a small family of scale insects in which the adult females exhibit morphological characteristics that closely resemble those of Pseudococcidae. Here we describe and illustrate the adult female and adult male of a new species, Puto altimontanus Li & Xu, sp. nov., collected from Quercus semecarpifolia (Fagaceae) in a high-altitude mountainous area of Xizang Autonomous Region (Tibet), China.
