Crypticerya genistae is a species of giant scale insect in the tribe Iceryini. It is very similar in appearance to Icerya rileyi and Icerya littoralis. Adult females somewhat resemble Icerya purchasi (cottony cushion scale), having a light orange body, black legs and a white fluted ovisac. However the 0.66–0.75 inches (17–19 mm) ovisac is much larger and is held either erect of parallel to the host plant.

Native to South America (including Brazil), C. genistae was accidentally introduced to Florida by 2005 and to the Cayman Islands by 2006.
