An updated checklist of the scale insects recorded from French Guiana (French overseas department) is given. This list has been collated from data from 6 different sources: Scale-Net, the EPPO Global Database, the Catalogue des insectes ravageurs descultures en Guyane Franqaise (Remillet, 1988), MNHN in Paris, LSV in Montpellier and a survey carried out by Direction de 1'Alimentation, de l'Agriculture et de la Foret de Guyane, Service de 1'Alimentation (DAAF-SALIM). Previously, 29 species were recorded from French Guiana by ScaleNet, but the updated list presented in this paper includes a total of 64 species. The 35 species added belong to 7 families: 1 Cerococcidae, 9 Coccidae, 14 Diaspididae, 1 Eriococcidae, 1 Monophlebidae, 2 Ortheziidae and 7 Pseudococcidae.
