Notes: This work reports two armored scale insects associated with F. pumila for the first time in the Brazilian Midwest: P. trilobitiformis on the leaves, and H. lataniae on the fruits. Studies with scale insects in Central Brazil must be stimulated to catalogue and expand the knowledge about new interactions, occurrence, and possible new species of Cerrado biome. https://doi.org/10.37486/2675-1305.ec07004
