COMMENTS.
A. woglumi
is often known as the citrus blackfly because of the black puparia, combined with the dark bodies and dusky wings of the adults. Although this species was described from
Jamaica
, it is almost certain that
A. woglumi
is a native of the Oriental or Austrooriental Region, and it is currently the only member of this important genus known in Central America.
