Revision of the genus Minutaleyrodes Jesudasan and David (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) with descriptions of two new species from the Little Andaman Island, India Author Dubey, Anil Kumar text Zootaxa 2020 2020-03-06 4748 2 315 333 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.4748.2.5 9a058e52-8778-42c8-9430-befa9a7e2a9d 1175-5326 3698828 A1274383-553B-4311-8F18-799505BA0201 Aleuroclava pearlis (Pushpa and Sundararaj) comb. nov. ( Figs 44–51 ) Minutaleyrodes pearlis Pushpa and Sundararaj, 2010: 47–48 . Material examined: Minutaleyrodes pearlis Pushpa and Sundararaj : Holotype , India , Karnataka , Srinkeri , on Syzygium sp., 14.vi.2007 , R . Pushpa ( NFIC-FRI # 21874 ). Hosts. Myrtaceae : Syzygium sp. ( Pushpa and Sundararaj, 2010 ). Distribution. India : Karnataka ( Pushpa and Sundararaj, 2010 ). FIGURES 44–51. Aleuroclava pearlis (Pushpa and Sundararaj) comb. nov. , holotype, 44, puparium, dorsal and ventral views; 45, first abdominal seta; 46, cephalothorax; 47, thoracic tracheal pore area; 48, margin and submargin; 49, abdominal median tubercles; 50, abdominal segment sutures; 51, vasiform orifice and caudal furrow. (CES—cephalic seta, FAS—first abdominal seta). FIGURES 52–56. Minutaleyrodes tricolorata Pushpa and Sundararaj syn. nov. (= Dialeurodes turpiniae (Meganathan and David) , holotype, 52, puparium; 53, cephalothorax; 54, thoracic tracheal pore; 55, metathorax and first abdominal segment; 56, vasiform orifice, caudal furrow. (CES—cephalic seta). FIGURES 57–59. Line drawings, M . whisper sp. nov. , holotype, 57, puparium; 58, thoracic tracheal pore; 59, vasiform orifice, caudal furrow. Remarks. Presence of the first abdominal setae ( Fig. 45 ), prominent median tubercles on the abdominal segments, emarginated tracheal pores and puparial shape similar to A . hikosanensis and A . trachelospermi agree with the genus characters of Aleuroclava , and Aleuroclava pearlis (Pushpa and Sundararaj) comb. nov. is proposed for Minutaleyrodes pearlis Pushpa and Sundararaj. Aleuroclava pearlis (Pushpa and Sundararaj) comb. nov. has a ventral submarginal fold, and although this is not a genus character for Aleuroclava , several species currently placed in Aleuroclava have a ventral submarginal fold.
