Abstract
Scale insects from genus Physokermes are considered as the most serious pests attacking plants from family Pinaceae causing drying and sometimes death of trees. They suck the sap from all aboveground parts of spruce and they excrete large amounts of honeydew. In Europe, four of spruce-bud scales species were found: Ph. hemicryphus, Ph. piceae, Ph. inopinatus and Ph. hellenicus. So far, only two species have been reported from Poland: Ph. hemicryphus and Ph. piceae. In Europe significant damage to spruce has been registered in a lot of countries, at present Ph. inopinatus occurs in mass numbers in the south of Sweden and it attacked 570 ha of spruce forests. Massive occurrence of Physokermes species on spruce trees is observed in the north and north-east of Poland. No methodologically correct studies on spruce bud-scales have been conducted so far in Poland. There is a big possibility that Ph. inopinatus is present in Poland, which is morphologically similar to two species noticed in Poland.
