Comments. This species was one of the more common aleyrodine whiteflies the author encountered in Java (on unidentified, citrus and non-citrus hosts) and is included here as it is a threat to citrus growers in Australia. This species has quite a characteristic ovoid shaped, dark puparium, consistently with 16 pairs of submarginal glandular spines, of which abdominal pairs are alternately longer or shorter than their immediate neighbours, and the venter has a ring of papillae just proximal of the margin.
