Lipaleyrodes . This species may be native to New Zealand, but molecular affinities to New World species raise some biogeographical questions about how it arrived in New Zealand. Samoa. It is similar to B. tabaci because of the adjacent pore-porette combinations and long caudal setae. However, it has two pairs of pore-porettes on the 1st abdominal segment, a weak longitudinal molting suture and the suggestion of a circular transverse suture. The raised, slightly sclerotized,
pigmented dorsal protuberances are unlike anything seen in the tabaci group. It shows some resemblance to B. porteri Corbett ( Fig. 26) but the pore/porette combinations are adjacent and the porettes are not aligned in any particular relation to the margin. It is known from this one specimen,
but specimens from Fiji and Papua New Guinea on taro are similar and may be this species. There is also a possibility that this is Bemisia leakii (Peal) , although the illustration of the vasiform orifice in the original description indicates otherwise. The specimen is bleached and marginally is partially covered with wax plates, and so the anterior submarginal setae are not discernible. genus Bemisia . This synonymy results in Bemisia emiliae Chen and Ko becoming a homonym of
