Scale insects associated with forest trees recorded to date in Bulgaria is presented. The data provided here are based on literature records and on the collections made by the authors and include the latest taxonomic and nomenclatural changes and updates on Coccomorpha reported in Bulgaria. A total of 56 species belonging to 26 genera and 8 families are included in the list. The paper provides information about scale insects associated with forest trees in Bulgaria in last 84 years, since the first list in 1938 was published.
