This species, described from Thailand, is newly reported here from China. Dubey &amp; Ko (2012) stated this species shows extreme dimorphism. The original description of puparia differs from the illustration (for instance “abdomen with about 19 submarginal spines...”). The puparium has been redrawn (Fig. 11). The number of submarginal spines on the abdomen varies to 21 pairs, and also in asymmetry between the left vs. right sides in some puparia. Additionally, the arrangement of tubercles in rows are not consistent among puparia. This species closely resembles Aleurocanthus siamensis Takahashi, 1942 in having interrupted rows of submarginal spines at intervals of 3 spines, but differs in possessing small rounded tubercles in rows on the abdomen, and in the number of submarginal spines on abdomen (15 pairs in A. siamensis).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/8C5D878AFFAC7E5514AA7DB6FCE5F8C8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species infests various economically important crops such as Citrus trees, pear trees, and others. It is difficult to distinguish it from Aleurocanthus camelliae, which develops on tea trees, in terms of the morphological structure of the puparium. We collected some specimens from Zhejiang Province on Citrus reticulata .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/8C5D878AFFA07E5814AA7ABCFEA9FC41	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Black, oval. Margin with white flocculent wax secretion, median area without wax deposition; 0.93 mm long, 0.65 mm wide. Found on the under surface of the leaf.</p><p>Margin. Finely toothed with 7–8 per 0.1 mm, each tooth with an apical notch and pointed apices.</p><p>Dorsum. Submargin with a row of knobbed setae. Longitudinal and transverse moulting sutures reaching the margin. Abdominal segments faintly discernible on the median area.

Of the 14 pairs on cephalothorax, 5 pairs placed in a row on submargin and 9 pairs on submedian area, of which the anterior 3 pairs are longer and nearly equal to submarginal spines.

The characters of this species are provided here to indicate its existence in China, but the species is not formally described from the only puparium available. Aleurocanthus undescribed sp. differs from Aleurocanthus shillongensis Jesudasan &amp; David, 1991 and A. spiniferus in having notched marginal teeth and a prominent projection on the inner posterior margin of the vasiform orifice.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/8C5D878AFFA17E5914AA7B9DFD44FC44	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
