Diagnosis In life, puparium usually found along the mid-vein or side veins on the underside of leaves and with a fringe of wax around the margin; elongate, oblong or elongate rectangular, slightly indented at anterior and posterior ends and at thoracic tracheal pore opening areas. Cuticle colour variable. Margin crenulate, teeth with swollen/glandular bases. Submargin with a row of papillae, submarginal papillae overlapping true marginal crenulations, and often difficult to resolve, often referred to as ‘a double row of teeth’ ( Corbett 1935 ; Ko et al. 1995 ). Thoracic and caudal tracheal pore opening areas modified with slightly reduced size of teeth. Longitudinal and transverse moulting sutures reaching margin. Dorsal disc with 21 pairs (11 cephalothoracic + 10 abdominal) of usually hook-shaped setae. Vasiform orifice subcordate to subcircular, not elevated; operculum transversely trapezoidal, covering anterior half of the vasiform orifice, lingula exposed, knobbed, not reaching beyond posterior margin of the orifice. Ventrally, lateral margin almost straight, legs not curved or C-shaped; antennae bases lateral to prothoracic legs, extending to outside of prothoracic legs. Apical pads on legs present or absent. Distribution Australia ( Carver and Reid 1996 ; Martin 1999 ); India ( David and Subramaniam 1976 ); China ( Wang et al. 2017 ); Taiwan ( Ko et al. 1995 ); Chad ( Cohic 1968 ); Malaysia ( Corbett 1935 ); Sulawesi (new record). Remarks The genus is reported for the first time from Sulawesi. In life, puparia of Aleuromarginatus and Corbettia have a fringe of wax around the body, but Corbettia differs from Aleuromarginatus in having a smooth or smoothly crenulate margin and 15 pairs (8 cephalothoracic + 7 abdominal pairs) of submarginal/subdorsal setae (excluding caudal pair), and in the bifurcation of the lateral longitudinal row of tubercles posteriorly.
