온실에서 재배되는 수입 드라세나묘목 및 게발선인장에서 채집된 뿌리깍지벌레 2종 Ripersiella multiporifera Jansen 및 Rhizoecus albidus Goux를 우리나라에서 처음으로 보고한다. 이들은 수입된 식물을 통해 온실에 도입된 것으로 추정되며 우리나라에 추가적인 유입과 정착을 방지하기 위해 이들 종의 진단형질, 사진자료, 기주 및 분포정보를 제공하고자 한다.

Two root mealybugs, Ripersiella multiporifera Jansen and Rhizoecus albidus Goux, were collected on imported Dracaena plants (Dracaenaceae) and Schlumbergera truncata (Haw.) Moran (Cactaceae) grown in greenhouses in Korea. Both species were probably introduced into greenhouses via the plant trade. Therefore, it reiterates the need to focus attention on the detection of root mealybugs at the ports of entry to prevent their introduction and establishment in the Korean environment. In this paper, additional information for the two species is provided with diagnoses, photographs along with host plant and distribution data for accurate species identification.
