The Japanese soft scale Takahashia citricola Kuwana, 1909 is redescribed and transferred to the genus Pulvinaria Targioni Tozzetti as Pulvinaria citricola (Kuwana, 1909), comb. n. (Coccoidea: Coccidae). Pulvinaria gamazumii Kanda, 1960 is synonymized with P. citricola comb. n. and Pulvinaria nipponica Lindinger, 1933, is resurrected as the replacement name for Pulvinaria citricola Kuwana, 1914 (nec Kuwana, 1909). The adult female of P. citricola (Kuwana, 1909) is redescribed and illustrated.
