We report the occurrence of scale insect Hemiberlesia lataniae (Signoret, 1869) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) in two Piper species (Piperaceae). Hemiberlesia lataniae specimens were collected from leaves and stems of Piper cernuum Vell. and Piper reticulatum L., in a greenhouse, in the city of Belém, state of Pará. The species is reported for the first time within Piper species in Brazil.
