Abstract
A new species of Dactylopius Costa (Dactylopius gracilipilus Van Dam and May) is described and illustrated. It is morphologically similar to Dactylopius tomentosus (Lamarck), but has more gracile truncate setae, abundant simple pores dorsally, and appears to be host-restricted to Corynopuntia Knuth (Cactaceae: Opuntioidea).
