      <Abstract>The hemispherical scale insect Saissetia coffeae (Walker) is reported for the first time from Assam, India infesting one-year old Meyna spinosa Roxb. ex Link (Rubiaceae) seedlings in nursery conditions. The host plant is attributed with medicinal properties amongst the inhabitants of the region; although occurring mostly as scanty populations in the wild, probably a cause of pest infestations.</Abstract>
