Notes: This study developed a DNA barcode library for armored scale insect species collected from southern China during 2021–2022. We sequenced a total of 239 specimens, recognized as 50 morphological species, representing two subfamilies and 21 genera. This study establishes a comprehensive barcode library for the identification of armored scale insects, future research, and application.
