Aleurocanthus citriperdus Quaintance & Baker, 1916 . 459–463. Syntypes. [ Indonesia] Java: Buitenzorg [Bogor], I 1911, R.S. Woglum, on orange [ Citrus sp.], USNM.

Distribution. Not yet recorded from Australia; Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Java, Sulawesi, Sumatra, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam ( Evans, 2006; Martin & Mound, 2007).

Hosts. RUBIACEAE : Coffea sp. ( Evans, 2006). RUTACEAE : Citrus acida , C. aurantium , C. limon , C. nobilis , C. sinensis ( Evans, 2006) .

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.
