Pealius

Gill, Raymond, 2012, A preliminary report on the World species of Bemisia Quaintance and Baker and its congeners (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) with a comparative analysis of morphological variation and its role in the recognition of species Raymond Gill, Insecta Mundi 2012 (219), pp. 1-99 : 14

Pealius and its congeners show some variability in setal enlargement, but the pattern of setal enlargement is different than that in Bemisia , and they do not seem to develop the protuberances found in the afer group. In the tribe Trialeurodini [e.g. Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood) ],

environment affects the puparial morphology area in a different way. Usually on more hairy leaf surfaces, papillae are produced in greater size and numbers. These papillae produce spine-like dorsal rays of wax that closely resemble the enlarged dorsal setae of Bemisia . Whiteflies in the genus
