Putoidae is a family of scale insects commonly known as giant mealybugs or putoids[1] The genus name Macrocerococcus has also been used but it is now considered to be a synonym of Puto.

[2] The genus Puto was formerly classified as a member of the Pseudococcidae;[3] however, it so significantly differed from the rest of the Pseudococcidae that it was accorded its own family Putoidae.
