  abstract = {{W}e provide an up-to-date catalogue of the {C}occomorpha {R}ubsaamen, 1899 of {N}ew {C}aledonia based on studies of collected and curated specimens and on the literature. {O}ne hundred and eighteen species (118) in ten families have been recorded to date, in 70 genera. {F}ive of the genera (7.2%) are endemic, belonging to {A}sterolecaniidae {B}erlese, 1898 ({O}acoccus {W}illiams, 2007), {E}riococcidae {C}ockerell, 1899 ({C}hazeauana {M}atile-{F}errero, 1988, {C}honeochiton {H}odgson, 2014) and {M}onophlebidae {M}askell, 1880 ({I}nsulococcus {B}hatti, 1991, {T}essarobelus {M}ontrouzier, 1864). {T}wenty-nine (29) species are endemic to {N}ew {C}aledonia, giving a rate of endemism of 24.6%. {M}ost of the species are apparently human-assisted introductions. {W}e provide here first records from {N}ew {C}aledonia for ten (10) species: {A}ulacaspis rosarum {B}orchsenius, 1858; {C}hrysomphalus pinnulifer ({M}askell, 1891); {D}iaspis echinocacti ({B}ouche, 1833); {F}iorinia phantasma ({C}ockerell & {R}obinson, 1915); {L}abidaspis myersi {G}reen, 1929; {P}almicultor browni ({W}illiams, 1960); {P}oliaspoides formosana ({T}akahashi, 1930); {P}seudococcus gilbertensis {B}eardsley, 1966; {P}seudococcus orchidicola {T}akahashi, 1939 and {R}hizoecus cacticans ({H}ambleton, 1946). {D}espite two introduction attempts for the biological control of weedy cactus, {H}ypogeococcus festerianus ({L}izer y {T}relles, 1942) is still considered absent from {N}ew {C}aledonia. {L}iterature records of five species are shown to be erroneous: {D}actylopius tomentosus ({L}amarck, 1801); {D}ysmicoccus cocotis ({M}askell, 1890); {L}indingaspis buxtoni ({L}aing, 1927); {N}ipaecoccus filamentosus ({C}ockerell, 1893) and {C}lavaspis herculeana ({C}ockerell & {H}adden, in {D}oane & {H}adden, 1909), which are therefore considered absent from {N}ew {C}aledonia.},
